Looks like BSNL enabled IPv6 in Telangana!

I can ping IPv6 addresses.

Is this it? Or is there a catch?

Also, how can I make sure my internet connection defaults to IPv6?

You don't have to do anything, system and software will take care of it.

I went tinkering and yes you are right. It's all setup so that IPv6 takes preference.

IPv6 Enabled But Doesn't Work?

Apr 13, 2024

Firstly, MANY Thanks for this Forum.

Following multiple tutorials, I have enabled IPv6 in the Syrotech Combo device. Its interface confirms IPv6:
BSNL Fiber FTTH IPv6

The OpenWrt router connected to this Syrotech Combo Device gets IPv6 too:
OpenWrt v23.05

However, none of the devices connected wirelessly to the OpenWrt Router have IPv6 addresses or IPv6 Connectivity:
Windows 10 v22H2 (Wi-Fi 5Ghz)...

@!!..PD..!! bro MH has IPv6 just not in all cities. It's already present in Mumbai and Pune. Not sure about other towns.

@Chip Thanks for the update. I have been getting the v6 address in ONT and Router for months now but pinging to ipv6 sites or doing any IPv6 test fails everytime.

Can you please share a screenshot with IPv6 ping test or IPv6 test working for you in Pune?

 

[Chip]

I use BSNL mostly for guests so dont have any laptop or computer connected there. Sorry, so no ping screenshots. But I get a v6 addresses on my mobile and it can browse to ipv6.google dot com. The device also passes v6 tests.

BSNL may not have rolled out v6 in your town fully and that's why you cannot use it.

Can you not do IPv6 test over wifi through mobile ?

Is IPv6 working for you now, pd? Does you network equipment show you a IPv6 address and gateway for your PPPoE connection?
