Hello there Securifi!
Its almost 2016 and there is still no support for IPv6.
Can you tell us when the IPv6 functions will arrive on the Almond+?
Services like Tunnelbroker.net, which are allowing to have IPv6 over IPv4 are really interesting and IPv6 should be implemented on Routers today. Almond+ is not that old..
Thanks,
Jan

Based on there history with router updates and lack of support in general. Pretty much never.
-
I imagine that would require updating the ancient OpenWRT build that Almond+ is based on (the last Kamikaze release was in January of 2010!), which it sounds like is a no-go due to lack of support from Cortina (the platform vendor). So, yeah, sad as it is, "never" is probably about right.

Kamikaze does support IPv6. In fact I had a cheapo D-Link router from 2008 which had IPv6 tunneling support baked in. This is a massive fail from Securifi and there's no excuse for it.

Ashok, could you check into this and report back?
Proper IPV6 is important.

Sure, would get back to you with an update asap on this.

@ mr23,
At present, we are not working on IPV6 support yet.

My point was that enabling IPv6 will most likely require modifications to the (Cortina-supplied) OpenWRT build, not just to the stuff Securifi have added on top of it. And by all accounts it's not looking like updates to the base OS are likely to happen at this point.

No IPv6 and obsolete OpenWRT makes this a dead product.

Hi Ashok,
Congratulations on the new release! I'm so glad the product is still alive. Could you give us another update on the state of IPv6 support? It's promised on the Kickstarter campaign and I always assumed it would have just worked for a device announced in 2013. IPv4 is dead, if you didn't catch the news ;)

Here's another quote, from the FAQ section of the original Kickstarter:
Is Almond+ IPv6 compatible?
Yes

Sadly my Almond+ was relegated back into its box many months ago when I realised how immature the firmware was (and after it had corrupted multiple Time Machine backups). I'm currently using pfSense on an old mini-ITX.

It looks like there is preliminary work for IPv6 there for the last few releases. I can get my router to advertise IPv6 addresses and respond to pings. It seems my WAN has an IPv6 as well according to the OpenWRT interface detail screen. I believe the only thing missing is the firewall configuration.
-
Actual routable IPv6 addresses, or just the link-local ones that all interfaces get by default?

And this is one reason I will not be buying my next router from you. As a kickstarter backer I am very disappointed as this was listed on the original campaign.
Between the lack of ipv6, lack of iftt support, lack or even the most popular packages for openWRT I will spend a little more to get a finished product from someone else.

Yep, not right that IPv6 was listed and hasn't been implemented. Totally on Securifi.
That said, there hasn't been a competing product yet. A combination of products would be needed to provide the same functionality. There is one product that is coming to market soon and it may compete, we'll see.

Unfortunately I had to demote this device to just an AP and run my ZWave stuff due to lack of IPv6 support. Kamikaze definitely supports IPv6 and I am confident I could get it to work with some research/effort. I believe the only thing missing was the routing and radvd configuration. Instead I just grabbed supported router by OpenWRT and loaded the latest Chaos version on it and IPv6 worked out of the box.
It is unfortunate the Cortina couldn't stay up to date with the latest OpenWRT release. Securifi should take this as a lesson to pick a chipset which has some backing from the OpenWRT project.
