      What have you configured as your 6rd border ipv4 gateway?

        Followed Charter's 6RD guide:

        6RD Configuration Settings
        As part of Charter's IPv6 Trials we have made available a Public 6rd Border Relay. If you are interested in participating in our early trials and own a device that supports 6RD use this configuration information to begin experiencing the Next Generation Internet:

        6rd Prefix = 2602💯:/32
            Border Relay Address = 68.114.165.1
            6rd prefix length = 32
            IPv4 mask length = 0

        Primary DNS Address = 2607:f428:1::5353:1

        Secondary DNS Address = 2607:f428:2::5353:1

          Can you try issuing these commands until it works:
          1- route add -inet6 default 2602💯44b8:yyyy::1
          Check if it works
          2 - ifconfig wan_stf inet6 2602💯44b8:yyyy:0::1/32
          Check if it works
          3 - route add -inet6 default  2602💯44b8:yyyy::68.114.165.1
          Check if it works

            Didn't have much luck, none of those worked.

              Ah you should delete the default gateway before trying route add :)

              or issue 'route change' instead of 'route add'

                    I'm pretty sure the 6rd patch change on January 25 broke these. I just reverted those.

                    edit: change backed out, don't upgrade to Saturday's snapshot if using 6rd.

                      Don't upgrade if using 6rd at all for the moment. That change resulted in a kernel panic reboot loop when connecting to 6rd on Saturday's snapshot. I reverted things back to where they were a couple days ago. Sunday's snapshot should be fine, but probably want to wait to hear back from someone here.

                        No Panic with the latest, but no IPv6.  I've run the tests prescribed earlier (manually setting routes) with no effect.

                          Hi guys,

                          Just tried the April 4th snapshot and it looks like 6RD is still broken.

                          Is there anything I can do to help you get the information you need to resolve this? Log files, remote access? Just let me know what you need and I would be happy to provide it.

                          -Will

                            Ermal has access to a system on my network that's now broken and can work from that.

                              It looks like it's still broken with the April 17th snapshot. I get a IP from my ISP tunnel, but i cant ping any other machine on the internet using ping6 through ssh.

                              Country: Sweden | ISP: Telia FiberLAN

                                I have the same issue with 6RD tunnel on Rogers.

                                  Still not working with charter 6rd as of the May 10th build. Any updates on this?

                                    Hi ddggttff3,

                                    The ticket I opened back on 3\15 was accepted, but hasn't been touched since. The only thing I've heard (via another post) is that they have a box that exhibits the same issue at the shop & they can work on it in-house, so there's no need for remote access to a customer machine.

                                    -Will

                                      Anyone know where I can find the January 27th snapshot to revert so I can test the 6RD with it? I'm running it with Centrylink/Quest.

                                        I have the Jan 22 x86 build if you want it. 6RD was working with it. If I remember right, it broke with the 1/24/13 build.

                                          Yea I'd love to give it a shot. Can you PM me a dropbox link or something similar?

                                          Thanks much

                                            Hi guys,

                                            Sure do wish they could figure out what changed with that build & sort this out. I'd love to see how much better 2.1 is after 5 months!
