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).
