Hello Tommi,

On Friday March 26 2021 07:46, you wrote to me:

 TK> Exactly.

Two questions:

1) Where does the fido6.vlist.eu come from? It exists in the DNS but it is only for local use and not advertised in the nodelist. It is not advertised anywhere AFAIK. Maybe I mentioned it somewhere and forgot? Or maybe you just happened to make the right guess?

2) So this manual override works only for my node and to connect to another node you have to make another override? IOW manually enter a new line in the config for each node that is to be connected via IPv6?

 TK> Binkd works 'better' in this case, it just passes the hostname to the

Understood.


Cheers, Michiel
