I wish to access my new node which is on a RASPI 4B located behind a nat router that has an iPv6 public address. So far returns unregistered... What can be done? Can someone point me in the right direction? ---

Unfortunately, AllStarLink and app\_rpt do not support IPv6 at present. That's a major upgrade to the entire system that we're in the planning stages for right now. ---

On 'most' networks, you can disable ipv6 in router and will get a ipv4 wan ip. The provider translates it within their ip scheme. Some cell networks may not. At least i have had issues with some being stubborn. You may need to reboot the modem after change in router. When doing this directly through a cell network, you would need to disable ipv6 in the OS. But it remains if you need ipv6 somewhere else in your network? I doubt it. ---

FWIW, outside the United States, it is quite common that ISPs don't assign IPV4 addresses at all. In that case, a VPN/tunnel may be the only option until ASL/app\_rpt supports IPV6. ---

You know, I totally missed the fact he was not in the US. So, yes, your mileage may vary. ---

Yes, we're definitely behind the curve on v6 support. It's a HUGE undertaking though. ---

Appreciate your responses and your team's commitment to implementing IPv6 support. ---

Set up a node at a friend's house months ago and worked fine. The node failed recently, so went back to find his router dispensing IPv6 addresses. No idea how to change it back... ---

That's a router issue if it's only handing out IPv6 addresses. Nothing about ASL/Linux will ignore offered IPv4 addresses.
