Hello,
I just updated my DNS, added 2a03:b0c0:2:d0::1 as AAAA. Guess my website must be reacheable from IPV6, but doesnt work (Used multiple sites to test, dont got IPV6 connection here myself). How can i setup Nginx to use IPV4 and IPV6 address?
Also i wanted to use a IPV6 Address with PPTP. Got a working PPTP setup on my Ubuntu 14.04 server, but dont know how to get IPV6 working too.
Does someone know the answer, or a tutorial for this? Im completly new to IPV6, and a beginner/medium ubuntu user.
EDIT: Seems my AAAA record is wrong to :(

Nginx doesn’t seem to be listening on port 80:
curl -g "http://[2a03:b0c0:2:d0::1]/"
curl: (7) Failed to connect to 2a03:b0c0:2:d0::1 port 80: Connection refused
You need to tell it to bind to the IPv6 address in your server block. You should already have a line that looks like:
listen 80 default_server;
under it, add:
listen [::]:80;
and restart Nginx:
sudo service nginx restart
Nginx is listenening now.
netstat -tulpan | grep nginx
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 437/nginx
tcp6 0 0 :::80 :::* LISTEN 437/nginx
DigitalOcean tells me this are my IPV6 IP`s: Configurable address range: 2a03:b0c0:2:d0::14:a000 - 2a03:b0c0:2:d0::14:a00f
Can i just add 2a03:b0c0:2:d0::14:a000 as an AAAA so that IPV6 users will visit the website using IPV6?
And how can i test this? Or how can i setup my PPTP to use IPV6 to so i can test it myself.
EDIT: For some reason 2a03:b0c0:2:d0::14:a000 (My first IP according to DO) didnt work. With ifconfig it showed 2a03:b0c0:2:d0::14:a001, so changed my AAAA and seems to work.
IPv6 validation for http://s1.jordykroeze.com
AAAA DNS record 2a03:b0c0:2:d0::14:a001
IPv6 web server nginx/1.4.6 (Ubuntu)
IPv6 DNS server leah.ns.cloudflare.com,igor.ns.cloudflare.com
Thanks for the answers! Hope someone can help me change my PPTP to use IPV6 too.
