AYIYA Tunnel with AICCU & Privacy Extensions?
[de] Shadow Hawkins on Friday, 01 March 2013 08:29:30
Hi all, may be a dumb question - so sorry in advance ;) Is it generally/technically possible to use the IPv6 privacy extensions for outgoing connections with AICCU and an AYIYA tunnel? TIA Jan

As the prefixes routed by SixXS are all listed in whois, it would not make much difference. Note that "privacy extensions" are only useful when one is changing between prefixes. Thus lets say your computer's wireless has MAC 00:11:90:1e:e1:6e and thus gets Link-Local fe80::211:90ff:fe1e:e16e. Your home wireless is 2001:db8:2222::/48 and your friend's wireless is 2001:db8:aaaa::/48. If you are at home you will get 2001:db8:2222::211:90ff:fe1e:e16e, but if you are visiting your friend it will be 2001:db8:aaaa::211:90ff:fe1e:e16e and thus, as the EUI-64 portion stays the same remote services could use this to see that it is you again. In that situation privacy extensions may make sense. If you stay in the same network it does not matter. Note also that cookies, behaviour and logins to correlate the same though. IP addresses do not matter. See also How the Internet sees you along with the videos on youtube etc.

Hi Jeroen, thx for your reply. Well I don't have any privacy concerns. I wonder if there are any technical reasons why it does't work for me by using AICCU. By using my AVM FRITZ!Box 7390 and the heartbeat tunnel it seems to work.

One cannot use privacy addresses on the tunnel itself (as only <prefix>::2 can be used on your side), but for the routed subnets behind it it should work fine.
