IPv6 for the masses, meet Teredo
Filed under network on nov 19, 2008
Teredo is a tunneling protocol designed to grant IPv6 connectivity to nodes that are located behind IPv6-unaware NAT devices. It defines a way of encapsulating IPv6 packets within IPv4 UDP datagrams that can be routed through NAT devices and on the IPv4 internet.
Enabling Teredo on your device is quite simple:
| Operating System | Enable method |
|---|---|
| Mac OS X | Miredo OS X port |
| Debian / Ubuntu | apt-get install miredo |
| Windows Vista | enabled by default |
| Windows XP | netsh interface ipv6 install ; netsh interface ipv6 set teredo client |
| Others | See http://href.be/mf |
With Teredo enabled you can use IPv6 practically everywhere you have IPv4 connectivity, happy IPv6 hacking!
