Retiring test-ipv6.com TL;DR: I will retire test-ipv6.com in December 2025. I have provided test-ipv6.com to the public since 2010. I've sunk significant resources - engineering, support, equipment, and hosting fees - into what is a revenue-free product. Without going into details: I feel now is the time for me to refocus my resources within the family. I hope people will understand, and respect this decision. I am shutting the site down, with a target of "during winter break" (December) 2025. Mirror operators: Should you wish to keep your mirrors up, they will stop getting updates in December. Service providers: If you have runbooks for your support team based on this site, or based on RIPE-631, you'll need to update those. FAQ: Q: Will I (jfesler) transfer the source? A: These portions are already public. These are already public. http://github.com/falling-sky/source https://github.com/falling-sky/fsbuilder - used to build what's in source https://github.com/falling-sky/mod_ip - the /ip/ handler for Apache https://github.com/falling-sky/mtu1280d - the synthetic MTU180 netfilter daemon. The remaining parts, such as geolocation and service provider lookups, I am contractually unable to release. Please do not ask. Q: Will I (jfesler) transfer the domain? A: I’d consider a reputable RIR or NIC organization serving the public interest taking things over. Q: Should mirrors be retired? A: I would suggest it. Once the primary site is retired, I will stop monitoring the functionality of your mirror, and stop providing geolocation and service provider lookups. Q: I have more questions or comments! A: If we ever meet for coffee or beer, ask me then.
