DNS64 is now available for the ungleich VPN, allowing to reach the IPv4 |
||||
world... on an IPv6-only VPN! |

body: |
||||
|
||||
We have been offering an [IPv6-capable VPN](https://ungleich.ch/ipv6/vpn/) |
||||
alongside our IPv6-only VPS hosting for a while in order to bring IPv6 |
||||
connectivity to customers stuck in the IPv4 world. The service also allows you |
||||
to reach the IPv6-enabled side of global Internet but was not able to connect |
||||
to IPv4-only services (such as [github](https://github.com/)!), which can be |
||||
painful depending on your use-case. |
||||
|
||||
This shortcoming is no more since we recently deployed two |
||||
[DNS64](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6_transition_mechanism#DNS64) |
||||
resolvers available to any VPN user. They will generate a synthetic IPv6 |
||||
address for domains lacking an `AAAA` (i.e. IPv6) DNS record, which will in |
||||
turn be routed via our NAT64 gateway. You only have to configure |
||||
`2a0a:e5c0:2:12:0:f0ff:fea9:c451` and `2a0a:e5c0:2:12:0:f0ff:fea9:c45d` as DNS |
||||
servers when you are connected to the VPN: all the details and instructions are |
||||
available on [our |
||||
wiki](https://redmine.ungleich.ch/projects/open-infrastructure/wiki/Ungleich_IPv6_wireguard_VPN#Proxy-all-traffic-via-the-VPN), although it boils down to two lines in your wireguard configuration. |
||||
|
||||
The above means that ungleich now provides a *fully-fledged* VPN! Note, however, that |
||||
direct IPv4 queries (i.e. requests 'bypassing' DNS resolution) won't be routed |
||||
though the VPN. Full isolation can be achieved using network namespaces as |
||||
described in the [wireguard |
||||
documentation](https://www.wireguard.com/netns/#the-new-namespace-solution). |
||||
Feel free to [join our |
||||
chat](https://redmine.ungleich.ch/projects/open-infrastructure/wiki/CHATting_with_ungleich) |
||||
to discuss such (non-trivial) setup in details! |
