How to Access IPv6 Server from IPv4 Only Network

ipv4ipv6

One of my Server is sitting behind a network which is only accessible trough a IPV6 (no double stack IPv4/IPV6 available).

How can I access the server (SSH, HTTP, other protocols) from an network where IPv6 is not available.

I've search for possible technical solutions and there is 4to6 bridge or other such as https://www.sixxs.net (as example).

Question:

  1. Is there an other technical solution which could be similar to sixxs.net (4to6 bridge) which allow all well knowns protocols (ssh, http, …)
  2. Is there an other solution / workaround / service which let me access my ipv6 only server from a ipv4 only network.

If the dual-stack option is not viable for you, then you will need to use the tunnel option, I believe.

You can try the list on Wikipedia that has several brokers listed, and perhaps you will find a provider that suits you.

Alternatively you can perhaps setup your own tunnel if you get an intermediary server that runs IPv6 and IPv4 using the instructions listed here

Hope this helps you on your quest.
