From today on ungleich offers free, encrypted IPv6 VPNs for hackerspaces
---
body:
## TL;DR
If you are a hackerspace and you want to hack/work/have fun with IPv6,
send an email to **ipv6hackerspace -at- ungleich.ch** with your
[public wireguard
key](https://redmine.ungleich.ch/projects/open-infrastructure/wiki/The_ungleich_VPN_infrastructure#Sample-clustomer-client-configuration)
plus a short description of your hackerspace and get an IPv6 VPN for free.
## The world belongs to geeks...
"...because nobody else wants it." was a slogan I've once read on a
mug. True or not, fact is that we geeks and hackers are the ones
who live in the Internet, create many of its backbone technologies and
always fight for a better version of it (with varying degree of
success...).
## How the Internet was supposed to be
The Internet was built to foster communication, research and exchange
of ideas. With the tranformation to a commercial driven network and
the exhaustion of IPv4 addresses we changed the way how we use the
Internet: instead of exchanging data directly with each other, we use
intermediate cloud services. Instead of being able to publish
information on any computer, we are hidden by multiple levels of NAT.
We have moved far away from the original idea of the Internet, it's
time to take back control.
## Using IPv6 to change the game, now
With IPv6 we geeks are back in the game, can launch services as we
like, be reachable under the same IPv6 address world wide, can even
carry around our networks and offer them as a service when we visit
other places.
The values of [team ungleich](https://ungleich.ch) are pretty much
aligned with the hacking community (in fact, we run a [Hacking
Hotel](https://hack.digitalglarus.ch/hacking-and-living-in-hotel-diesbach.html)
in [Digital Glarus](https://digitalglarus.ch/)). Our job at ungleich
is to **enable people to do stuff**, so we decided it is time to
enable (other) hackerspaces to join the movement.
## Getting IPv6 for a hackerspace
To get IPv6 for your hackerspace, simple write an email to
ipv6hackerspace -at- ungleich.ch with a short description of your
hackerspace and your public [wireguard](https://www.wireguard.com/)
key.
You can find more information on how to configure wireguard and how to
create the public key in the [ungleich redmine
wiki](https://redmine.ungleich.ch/projects/open-infrastructure/wiki/The_ungleich_VPN_infrastructure#Sample-clustomer-client-configuration).
## IPv6 chat
If you want to stay in touch with us and talk about IPv6 **IRC alike**,
you can join us on the [IPv6 chat](https://IPv6.chat).
