abuse@

I recently revived a “newsletter”. One which I did not and, looking at the topic, never would subscribe too. I revived the same “newsletter” on three different mail accounts, one of them only used as reply-to in my Usenet days (quite some time ago). So I deiced too take a closer look at the mail headers. The ISP is based in Germany so I though that my chances are good to and send a complained to abuse@provider.

So far, so good.

They shouldn’t have called

January 23rd, 2012 No comments

After the great answer to my question about IPv6 they did it! They called me an offered me a better price. This convinced me to change my ISP at home right now. Good riddance Vodafail. Hope you fail big time with CGN / LSN.

something is happening: http://www.worldipv6launch.org/press/20120117-2/

Okay, according to sixy.ch this blog hat IPv6 for 1059 days. But better late than never.

If only some German access providers would offer native IPv6.

If you are lazy (just like me) and don’t want to do your IP subnetting by hand checkout sipcalc.

Sipcalc can work both with vintage IP and IPv6.

Trouble typing those long addresses? Try IPv6 Buddy.

(No I don’t have one and I don’t plan on buying one, but I would take one for free. ;-) )

CGN to the rescue!

January 10th, 2012 2 comments

I asked my provider about his plans regarding IPv6. Again! :-(

Here is a rough translation and summarization of the answer:

You don’t need IPv6! Nobody else uses IPv6! There are no IPv6 capable device! There is no IPv6 content! We will use NAT to hide about 3000 private IP addresses behind one public IP!

Yes! CGN (Carrier Grade NAT) is the solution! Problems with IPSEC, VOIP, FTP, Games, no more running services at home. If you want this you can pay extra for premium Internet. And about the 3000 private IPs behind one public IP take a look at this.

So I’m currently looking for a new provider.
