   !grrr - Support for IPv6 is still wide and far between. Most Dynamic DNS hosts I'm trying are either not supporting it at all, or depending on an external script - looking at a Perl script now that needs a module not on my laptop. Since I'll eventually need to run this on the NAS, that isn't very hopeful. There's still hope, but this is taking far too log and it's far too complicated to do something that by now *should* be simple! #ipv6 #perl #networking #dns

     Oh, it's not just ISPs - it's all across the board: DNS services (especially the smaller ones, but that's understandable), tools... weird inconsitencies in tools, too: some get an extra parameter (-4/-6), others get an extra sister program (ping6, nslookup6...), and then there are all the services for "what is my ip": nearly all give only an IPv4 address, and no clue even if they have an IPv6 version - and there are very few of those. #ipv4 #ipv6 #tools
