Update

I won’t be updating the host file in favor of https://github.com/miyurusankalpa/IPv6-dns-server

IPv6hosts

About

This project was created, because some of the CDN services have IPv6 enabled, but does not serve IPv6 records using DNS.

My IPv6 only servers based on Europe uses this hosts file.

NOTE: As this is bypassing DNS servers completely, this might make some of these services which uses geodns will be slow. you should definitely check the performance and change or comment out hosts accordingly.

How to use

Use the host file, no guide will be given to prevent muggles from using this.

Changing Akamai Range to a closer pop for faster performance

1. nslookup akamai.com or letsencrypt.org with 8.8.8.8 eg: nslookup letsencrypt.org 8.8.8.8
2. In the IPv6 address remove the last hextet. eg: 26003f:ce0>>26003f:
3. replace the ip range eg: sed -i 's/2a026b:2a0/{IP range from above}/g' hosts

Some Akamai IP Ranges:

• 2a026b:2a0 (NL) Default
• 26003f:288 (SIN)

On fastly, the Anycast IPv6 range is used.

Any help is very much appreciated.

Hopefully one day mucking around with hosts file will not be necessary
