Hi....

As you all know IPv6 has been recently launched. Can you all post if your ISP is able to open an IPv6 address. For ex copy and paste this address in your browser.

*[2002:c247:6b96::1]
(I'm not here to promote piracy, but above link should open piratebay.se, Piratebay began using IPv6 address in order to avoid ISP blocking.:lol:)

So, Pls check with your respective ISP's and post here.

ISP : BSNL
Place : Kolkata

Status : Page not opening. Says, "Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to [2002:c247:6b96::1]".

Looks like BSNL doesn't support IPv6 yet.

Pages must open as they use now torredo tunneling for IPv6. Its strange that they are not opening.
mine:

ISP: Airtel, bhopal

Its opening but page is blocked. Using IPv4 opens TPB though. :? I explicitly remember that IPv6 address for TPB was working yesterday (not blocked). Seems ISPs are moving ahead.

ISP - Airtel Delhi

It opens thepiratebay.se with this message:
"This website/URL has been blocked until further notice either pursuant to Court orders or on the Directions issued by the Department of Telecommunications"

Does it mean IPv6 is working?

^^why this errrm. I know its a noob question and piratebay servers are blocked. But i was confused that IPv6 is working or not because gaurav said that piratebay began using IPv6 address in order to avoid ISP blocking and the website was blocked.

seems ISP have blokced their IPv6 now too. the normal HTTPS before the site name should open it. The fact that you get a blocked message means IPv6 is a go on your BB :wink:

The pirate site is working with Tata Photon + and yes they are using IPv6 now !!

^^Yes thepiratebay is blocked but only on broadband connections and not on cellular data connections. So you could use net dongles, 2g, 3g, and 4g to access the site. If you dont have or do not want to use cellular data then you can use cache sites and google cache to access the site using your broadband connection.

BSNL should make themselves IPv6 ready in every region .
