   A bit of cable management. A I'll need to get some shorter patch cables

      @theru This looks great. That's about what I had in mind to replace my server. I'm not convinced that my connection speed is up for this....

         @beni I had to get a cable connection to get some more upload (on the plus side I now have a failover setup)

            @theru I called our local cable provider to ask them when they plan to roll out IPv6. They told me that there are not such plans to provide IPv6 connectivity. That's why I stick with VDSL.

               @beni ipv6 is non existing here. I have played a bit around with tunneling it (I can just setup a tunnel in pfsense) but it's not something that is essential for me.

                  @theru I tunneled it before. Not I've got native IPv6 but the router doesn't support routing subnets... Now I have to replace the router.

                     @beni maybe it's time to build a new one :-)

                        @theru My OpenBSD router is just fine it only doesn't do VDSL-Bridging. That's why I'm using another router as VDSL-Bridge. That's the one I should replace. I'm just having a hard time finding a proper VDSL Bridge/Modem.

                           @beni I just get a vdsl modem from my dsl/vdsl provider (I work for them so it's somewhat easier for me)

                              @theru I got a bloody FritzBox from my provider which doesn't route delegated IPv6 subnets nor does it have a pure bridge mode.

                                 @beni really ? I thought the Fritzbox did that.

                                    @theru Maybe the more recent ones. For the one I have I have to telnet into the box and set the route manually - to be repeated after every reboot.

                                       @beni telnet... might be a good idea to just get a modem. (if your provider does vectoring it might be good if the modem does that as well)

                                          @theru What's vectoring? (Remember, I don't work for a provider.... ok, technically I do because our schools is a provider, too...)

                                             @beni vectoring means that the DSLAM does a lot of calculation about crosstalk between the lines in the cable (crosstalk has an impact on the speed of the line) and takes that out. But if your router/modem is old it's unlikely that the DSLAM does vectoring.

                                          @theru My provider offers to sell a ZyXEL VMG1312 Bridge - maybe I should get one of these.

                                             @beni probably wouldn't be bad getting it from your provider (here you either get a modem or a gateway from your provider with your line)

                                                @theru They would lend me a newer FritzBox for free. I'm just not really convinced that this would then work...

                                                   @beni Sometimes cable is a bit easier - most of the modems/gateways I know of there can be set in bridge mode.
