Further to this post of mine a couple of months ago when I called 2degrees to set this all up I was informed they no longer offer this service. Are there people on here that still have this? Does anyone have any contact details for someone in 2degrees / spark that knows about this?

Thanks,

Jason

Yes I'd be interested to as I would ideally like 1 more IPv4 address for a personal owncloud server as my family in the UK do not have ipv6 enabled internet connections which makes sharing awkward...

@Benoire Use Cloudflare for this - if you set up an AAAA record to your OwnCloud server and proxy it through them (by clicking on the cloud icon) it'll act as an IPv4/IPv6 to IPv6 proxy enabling other people without IPv6 to access your services. This is what I do with my personal webserver hosted at https://murfy.nz which has a server that is IPv6 only.

@michaelmurfy,

Great! I've got a cloudflare account and they do my DNS I just hadn't thought that out!... Although the next step is getting IPv6 through my fritzbox as it is refusing to :-( but that is a different matter to this topic.

Also shove a "LetsEncrypt" certificate on your OwnCloud server and enable strict HTTPS - Mine doesn't go through Cloudflare (https://owncloud.murfy.nz) however you get full SSL this way.

I've got the verified StartSSL setup so can get unlimited SSLs with 2 year validations on them so owncloud is setup on that.
