@daniel I wonder if #IPv6 is working for monal? If IPv6 worked it should cut down on the need for STUN & TURN.

On my tiny server on the times I've looked I've certainly seen my one ipad user connected with an ipv6 address

@alienghic Just because it's IPv6 doesn't mean it's not firewalled 🤷‍♂️

In theory you are absolutely correct. In practice I simply don't know. IPv6 isn't available on any of the mobile carriers in Germany which means I can't test this.

🤔 Do you use a corporation APN or a strange MVNO?
Telekom, Vodafone, Telefonica and 1&1 provide IPv6.

@alienghic
Nearly all clients are connected via ipv6 on my server, but you can never be sure, people can use a stupid wifi etc. So it's good to have a turn server just in case.

My Alditalk mobile contract gives me ipv6 @daniel
Some in my family had ipv6 not enabled in the APN settings. I turned it on then then it just worked. Don't know why it isn't always the default.

@Menel @alienghic interesting. I just tested this again and I can establish direct IPv6 connections between two mobile phones on different carriers. I'm fairly certain this wasn't the case when I first developed and tested A/V calls. (or maybe my phones were set up incorrectly)

May very well be that it is newish for some carriers.
Progress 🎉

All in all I have the feeling Germany has nearly full support for ipv6 everywhere. (not in corporate networks, OK)
But it isn't bad anymore.
