## Our mission
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
## 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/).
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
By default the firewall is configured to allow outgoing connections
|
|
from LAN 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!
|
|
|

We measured throughput on a LAN, IPv6 based with iperf:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|

### WiFi
|
|
|
|
In our long term tests the WiFi of the VIIRB shows
|
|
reliability issues with clients that are not directly next to it.
|
|
|
|
As the majority of VIIRB users we are in touch with did not use the
|
|
WiFi and our preference is on delivering stable systems, we have
|
|
turned the WiFi off by default. Effective since 2020-12-01.
|
|
|
|
If you are looking for an IPv6 enabler with reliable WiFi, we
|
|
recommend to use the [VIWIB](/u/products/viwib-wifi-ipv6-box) instead.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## What is in the box
|
|
|
|
When you order the VIIRB, you will receive one pre-configured
|
|
system. The box **does not** contain the micro usb cable or a charger,
|
|
because we think that most people already have this and we don't want
|
|
to contribute to tech waste.
|
|
|
|
### IPv6VPN included
|
|
|
|
A free subscription for 1 year is included. This way you can plug in
|
|
the VIIRB and just get started with IPv6.
|
|
|
|
## VIIRB Add-Ons
|
|
|
|
The VIIRB comes with a variety of possible add-ons that can turn it
|
|
into an even more versatile device.
|
|
|
|
### Turning the VIIRB into an IPv6 camera
|
|
|
|
You can turn the VIIRB into an IPv6 streaming camera with
|
|
a compatible USB-Webcam. For **25 CHF** you can add a tested,
|
|
Full HD (1920x1080) USB camera to your VIIRB order.
|
|
|
|
### Turning the VIIRB into an IPv6 thermometer
|
|
|
|
If you want to know how hot (or cold) it is,
|
|
you can use an USB temperature sensor to measure the temperature.
|
|
For **20 CHF** you can add a tested temperature sensor to your VIIRB
|
|
order.
|
|
|
|
### Turning the VIIRB into an LTE/4G router
|
|
|
|
Using an USB 4G Modem you can use the VIIRB to enable a network not
|
|
only with IPv6, but also with Internet connectivity in general.
|
|
|
|
For **75 CHF** you can add a 4G modem to your VIIRB order.
|
|
|
|
### Turning the VIIRB into a GPS tracker
|
|
|
|
The VIIRB is small and universal. What if you could use it to track
|
|
things? Like your car, your bike, your boat? And check where your
|
|
things are using IPv6?
|
|
|
|
You can add the USB GPS tracker add on for **25 CHF** as a single
|
|
device.
|
|
|
|
### Multiple Add-Ons via USB Hub
|
|
|
|
To connect more than one add-on to the VIIRB, you will need a
|
|
USB-Hub. For **25 CHF** you can add a verified,
|
|
4 Port USB hub to your VIIRB order.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### The VIIRB autonomous security system
|
|
|
|
The VIIRB can be turned into an autonomous security system with the
|
|
following add-ons:
|
|
|
|
* USB Hub (to support multiple add-ons)
|
|
* LTE/4G Router (Internet Uplink, excluding SIM card)
|
|
* GPS Tracker (To record where the VIIRB is)
|
|
* USB Camera (To stream what the VIIRB can see)
|
|
|
|
The autonomous security system set can be added to your VIIRB order
|
|
for **150 CHF** (208 CHF including the VIIRB).
|
|
|

## More of it
|
|
|
|
If you need more ports, Gigabit support, more RAM and more storage,
|
|
you can checkout the [Pro IPv6 Box](../pro-ipv6-box).
|
|
|
|
If you like the VIIRB, but you would also like to have a reliable
|
|
WiFi, we recommend to checkout the [VIWIB](/u/products/viwib-wifi-ipv6-box/).
|
|
|
|
You can also announce your own IPv6 space via the VIIRB. The only
|
|
requirement is that you have an ASN and an IPv6 prefix. Checkout the
|
|
[BGP Peering](/u/products/bgp-peering/) for more details.

## How it works in detail
|
|
|
|
The complete flow for how your computers get IPv6 in the LAN
|
|
is show in the following picture:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So basically the VIIRB...
|
|
|
|
* gets an IPv4 address in your LAN
|
|
