as per Google over IPv6
in order to connect to google through ipv6 the ISP must have some
sort of agreement with Google. my ISP does not however have such agreement
It was suggested that I do find the IPV6 IP for google and try to connect to
it directly, is that possible? and if yes how would one find the ipv6 for google?
For those who think that you can just randomly connect to google please look at:
Requesting peering with google
There are two separate issues here.
(1) Getting IPv6 connectivity to the Internet.
(2) Your ISP getting whitelisted by Google to receive AAAA records.
For point (1), your ISP must either provide you with an IPv6–enabled Internet connection, or you must sign up with a tunnel broker such as Hurricane Electric or SixXS.
For point (2), that is something only your ISP can initiate. And it is only something they can initiate if they already provide IPv6 connectivity. In other words, (1) is a prerequisite of (2). However, if you use Hurricane Electric or SixXS, you may use their DNS caches, which are already whitelisted to receive AAAA records from Google.
Or, as poster borrel points out, you may simply visit http://ipv6.google.com/ if you wish. What you can even do a a little hack is get the IPv6 address of
ipv6.google.com, and use your/etc/hostsfile to point the other Google domains (e.g.www.google.com,maps.google.com) to that same IP. Your mileage may vary, but it worked for me last time I tried it.
