Those hosts are only for their frontend, not for their content. There are quite a few people who have been trying to find the exact list, either filtering by prefix (which will have collateral damage, as Amazon is also involved), or by filtering on DNS. Easier is just to not give IPv6 to the device that does your Netflix IPv6. VLANs are an amazingly handy tool. tag:forum.sixxs.net,2017-02-15:apps.15347461.15349921.15350381.15404053.15906861 2017-02-15T21:02:33-00:00 2017-02-15T21:02:33-00:00 Leif NelandLNR4-SIXXS@whois.sixxs.net I found this solution: <code>up ip -6 route add unreachable 2a01:578:3::/48 </code> This prevents IPv6 to netflix servers You may need to adapt according to your location <code>www.netflix.com is an alias for www.geo.netflix.com. www.geo.netflix.com is an alias for www.eu-west-1.prodaa.netflix.com. www.eu-west-1.prodaa.netflix.com has IPv6 address 2a01:578:3::36ab:2214 www.eu-west-1.prodaa.netflix.com has IPv6 address 2a01:578:3::364d:c542 </code>... tag:forum.sixxs.net,2016-07-07:apps.15347461.15349921.15350381.15404053 2016-07-07T19:07:50-00:00 2016-07-07T19:07:50-00:00 Andreas PaulssonAP7232-RIPE@whois.sixxs.net Leif Neland wrote: <div class="quote">I get my internet over the air with a 4G-router; does any provider give IPv6 on 4G? </div> In Sweden there are plenty of providers who give out IPv6 on mobile networks, for example Tele2.

After that as long as AICCU runs, it will never ask them again. And it does not need too either. </div> When I set up aiccu on this macbook I had trouble with routing and restarted aiccu a couple of times and quickly ran into a rate limit on the TIC server. <div class="quote">&gt; because the tunnel connection is more unstable. Please elaborate what &quot;tunnel connection is more unstable&quot;, what do you mean? </div> I mean that for my typical usage I work on the macbook for 10-30 minutes at a time and then suspend it and some times resume 5-10 minutes later (thank god for quick SSD based storage ;) ). So it constantly has to reconnect to wireless network and might change its IPv4 address. Based on that I thought that aiccu has to reestablish the tunnel more than when I have it running on my router at home. Now that I'm thinking about more thoroughly about this issue I think that aiccu can handle the situation I described in my original posting. I'll look more into log messages and packet dumps and see what the real issue is. Thank you for your quick response! tag:forum.sixxs.net,2014-10-21:apps.12533625.12533773 2014-10-21T11:10:02-00:00 2014-10-21T11:10:02-00:00 Jeroen MassarJRM1-RIPE@whois.sixxs.net <div class="quote">aiccu seems to not handle this situation well as it won't reestablish the tunnel after resuming and reconnecting to a network</div> Any technical details on this? Note that there is no need for AICCU to do any kind of 'reestablish' or 'reconnection' as it is just sending and receiving packets. <div class="quote">Maybe, it's just not the targeted environment for aiccu and a SixXS tunnel,</div> AICCU is fully intended, with the help of heartbeat and AYIYA (for behind NAT) to work in dynamic IP and not-always-online situations. <div class="quote">because it imposes a greater load in the TIC servers</div> The TIC servers should rarely be queried, only when AICCU starts.
