| 1475831 | 2021-03-26 02:40:00 | I back up my data to a FTP server in my daughter's house and this has been running successfully for several years. I overcame any changes to the IPv4 address by using a dynamic DNS name from afraid.org. However, she has recently been given a CGNAT address (without any warning) I know that 90+% of internet users would not even notice this (she didn't but I did.) Simple fix I thought - access via IPv6 but although I can "see" her house, this address is not static either. So I signed up for a name at dynv6.com Problem is, how can I then FTP to that site? I am using Filezilla and any full IPv6 address has to be enclosed in square brackets, but the dynv6 address is not "full", how do I format the address? xxxxx.dynv6.net:ba27:ebff:fe43:2478 [xxxxx.dynv6.net:ba27:ebff:fe43:2478] [xxxxx.dynv6.net:ba27]:ebff:fe43:2478 I just wish 2degrees had left all IPv6 addresses as static. No-one has come up with any reason at all why they had to make them dynamic. |
