|

## Our mission
|
||||
## The VIWIB
|
||||
|
||||
We want to enable anyone, anyone with IPv6. It should be as simple as
|
||||
"plug and play". We are very proud to announce that with the
|
||||
**VPN IPv6 IoT Router Box** (VIIRB), we can now offer exactly this.
|
||||
The VIWIB is the bigger sister of the
|
||||
[VIIRB](/u/products/viirb-ipv6-box/). Compared to the VIIRB, it has 2
|
||||
Ethernet ports and a reliable WiFi. It is also slightly bigger (insert
|
||||
size here). However it does not weigh much more! The VIWIB **does
|
||||
not** have an audio jack, though.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## VIWIB use cases
|
||||
|
||||
The main use case of the VIWIB is the same as the VIIRB: to bring IPv6
|
||||
everywhere in the world. As the hardware differs slightly to the
|
||||
VIIRB, we have some different use cases in mind for the VIWIB:
|
||||
|
||||
### IPv6 only Wifi
|
||||
|
||||
The VIWIB comes with a built in WiFi network. The default SSID is
|
||||
"IPv6 everywhere" and the default password is "iloveipv6". The
|
||||
broadcasted WiFi is IPv6 only with DNS64 and NAT64 enabled.
|
||||
|
||||
Note for Nico: we might even re-use the local address with stateful
|
||||
NAT64!
|
||||
|
||||
To prove that IPv6 is fun, the default sub network id for the
|
||||
wifi is "7ea", which reads similar to "tea".
|
||||
|
||||
### IPv6 only LAN
|
||||
|
||||
If you connect the LAN port to an unused network switch, the VIWIB
|
||||
will create an IPv6 only network. It's very similar to the WiFi.
|
||||
|
||||
To prove that IPv6 is fun, the default subnetwork id for the lan is
|
||||
"cafe", which reads similar to ... you get point.
|
||||
|
||||
### Dual stack LAN
|
||||
|
||||
If you connect the LAN port to an existing network with IPv4
|
||||
connecvitity, the VIWIB will create a dual stack network. While mode
|
||||
you prefer is up to you!
|
||||
|
||||
## How it works
|
||||
|
||||
The VIIRB is pre-configured with a Wireguard VPN. With this VPN you
|
||||
will receive a /48 IPv6 prefix. The IPv6 connectivity is provided by
|
||||
[Data Center Light](https://ungleich.ch/u/projects/data-center-light/).
|
||||
The VIWIB, like the VIIRB, uses the [IPv6VPN](/u/products/ipv6-vpn/)
|
||||
to get IPv6 connectivity. The VIWIB features the same features as the
|
||||
VIIRB, it is also 100% Open Source, and by default the firewall is
|
||||
configured to allow outgoing connections from LAN and WiFi towards the
|
||||
VPN. Incoming ICMP6, SSH, HTTP and HTTPS are open by default, too
|
||||
|
||||
When you plug in the ethernet cable and power it on, it will do the
|
||||
following:
|
||||
|
||||
* Establish a VPN connection via IPv4 or IPv6 to Data Center Light
|
||||
* Announce a pre-configured /64 network on the LAN
|
||||
* Announce a pre-configured /64 network on the Wifi
|
||||
|
||||
By default the firewall is configured to allow outgoing connections
|
||||
from LAN/Wifi towards the VPN. Incoming ICMP6, SSH, HTTP and HTTPS are
|
||||
open by default.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fully Open
|
||||
|
||||
The VIIRB is running stock [OpenWRT](https://openwrt.org/). We flash
|
||||
the latest available version before shipping. SSH and http access to
|
||||
the OpenWRT management is open. The password is randomly generated and
|
||||
will be sent to you with the shipping confirmation.
|
||||
|
||||
## VIIRB use cases
|
||||
|
||||
So what can you do with the VIIRB?
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. IPv6 on the go
|
||||
|
||||
Going to a friend and the network does not have IPv6? Just bring your
|
||||
VIIRB, plug it in and enjoy a fully enabled IPv6 network.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. IPv6 world wide reachable audio system
|
||||
|
||||
You can install the [music player daemon](https://www.musicpd.org/) on
|
||||
the VIIRB and allow remote control of the music from anywhere in the
|
||||
world. You can either put your music locally on an SDXC card or you
|
||||
can even mount your music collection or stream music to it.
|
||||
|
||||
Just connect the VIIRB to your audio system, configure it and enjoy
|
||||
remotely controlled music!
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. A BGP router
|
||||
|
||||
With
|
||||
[bird2](https://openwrt.org/packages/pkgdata/bird2)
|
||||
and
|
||||
[quagga](https://openwrt.org/packages/pkgdata/quagga) available on
|
||||
OpenWRT, you can use it directly for peering with other ASNs.
|
||||
|
||||
In fact, if you let us know before ordering, we can even connect your
|
||||
VIIRB to a VPN endpoint that allows peering with the real Internet.
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. A hacking box
|
||||
|
||||
Thi VIIRB contains a variety of additional features like PWM, GPIO,
|
||||
A/D converter, D/A converter and so on. It can also plug in a small
|
||||
camera, so you can turn it into an IPv6 enabled camera. The VIIRB is
|
||||
so universal, easy and hackable that it's just fun to use it.
|
||||
|
||||
Remote controlling your lights, your blinds, your doorbell - all
|
||||
remotely via IPv6? You can do it with the VIIRB!
