IPv6 Support
Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6)
Introduction
Users can connect to ipv6.vbirc.com normally, as well as over an IPv6 connection.
/server ipv6.vbirc.com 6667 - normal connection.
/server -6 ipv6.vbirc.com 6667 - ipv6 connection.
At the moment this is our only IPv6 capable server.
Encryption is possible. /server -6 -ssl ipv6.vbirc.com 6697
It's recommended to use xchat or irssi for IPv6 on IPv6 capable operating system.
What is IPv6?
IPv6 is short for Internet Protocol version 6.
An IPv4 address is what you normally have, and looks like 123.123.123.123 (4 blocks, divided by a dot).
An IPv6 address looks like aaaa:aaaa:aaaa:aaaa:aaaa:aaaa (6 blocks, divided by : character).
Your operating system must have an IPv6 stack.
Your IRC client must be IPv6 capable.
