Enthusiast test.

[thurman86]

Unless I am wrong on how to go about doing the Enthusiast test I dont believe it to be possible for me to do. From what I understand I have to set up an IPv6 webserver...The thing about that is my ISP does not allow servers to be ran on a residential connection. Am I stuck at this level or is there webhosting that will somehow allow me to configure my site with IPv6?

Is this because they don't want the traffic or is this because they're blocking port 80 inbound?

Depending on the TOS, this might very well be possible because they will not see the traffic as HTTP...they'll see it as protocol41

[thurman86]

They don't want the traffic, I had a server up and running for a few days ones...next thing I know my Internet is cut off and I get a phone call explaining that I cant run a server. They restored my connection and gave me 24 hours to take it down or get suspended again...

[cholzhauer]

Was that over IPv4 or IPv6?  All the enthusiast test does (I think) is to read a text file on your server, which isn't going to take many bytes at all. 

If it was v4, I would imagine they could have been snooping traffic looking for port 80 or http traffic.

Not that I'm advocating this, but you could set up your web server, pass the test, then take it back down again

[thurman86]

It was over v4. I'm thinking you are right, if i set up an IPv6 server to take the test with and then take it down I should be fine. Guess I will just have to try and see.  ;D

If you can run IPv6 via the tunnel, you can setup the server on an IPv6 address such that it cannot be accessed via IPv4, and I double-dog guarantee they'll never even notice.

They'd have to have IPv6 equipment, and even then, they only see protocol 41 until it hits HE's servers, which they don't control.

Or, if you have nc available run

Code Select Expand

nc -6 -l 80 < filename.txt and hit return.
Then initiate the "get the file" at the HE end...which basically simulates a listener on port 80 that serves up the file...
That might work...

^  Good tip! 

Although, you really shouldn't have any issues setting up a temporary web server on any ISP.

Setup Native IPv6 or Tunneled IPv6 using a Tunnelbroker
   >:(

You do not appear to be using an IPv6 capable connection, why not setup a tunnel from Tunnelbroker.net

I tried to set up one.. "Balasubramaniyam-1.tunnel.tserv4.nyc4.ipv6.he.net" what should I do to complete this level...Please help me....

[cholzhauer]

Looks like you're tunnel isn't working?

Gonna need some more information...what do your routing tables and interfaces look like? What commands did you use to try and start the tunnel?

[Sindoatan]

Hello.
I'm also cant pass this level(
I have working HE tunnel, domain, A and AAAA recorns at HE DNS servers, webserver (nginx) listening [::]:80 for this domain. I can succesfull see my site via ipv4, ping it via ipv6. But I still cant reach this test. Can anyone help with it?

Your webserver is either not listening on IPv6 or your firewall is blocking it.

Hmm.. It works fine now. But i've done nothing. (Web server - fine, but not a test)

Yep, works fine
