# IPv6 Setup Guide for PCDN Nodes

### 🚀 1. Why IPv6 is Important

In some regions of Vietnam, the PCDN network relies on IPv6 for stable data routing.\
If IPv6 is not enabled, your node may:

* Fail to connect or stay offline
* Experience upload/download issues
* Miss out on earning rewards

✅ **Enabling IPv6 = better connection, faster transfer, and higher reliability**

### 🧩 2. Quick IPv6 Check

#### ✅ Option 1: Test via Browser

Visit <https://test-ipv6.com/>

* If it shows **“Your IPv6 connection appears to work”** → IPv6 is enabled
* If only IPv4 appears → follow the setup steps below

#### ✅ Option 2: Command Line Test

```bash
ping -6 google.com
```

If you get a response → IPv6 is working\
If you see “Network unreachable” → IPv6 is disabled

### ⚙️ 3. Enable IPv6

#### 💻 On Linux (Ubuntu / Debian / CentOS)

1️⃣ Check IPv6 status

```bash
cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/disable_ipv6
```

If the result is `1`, IPv6 is disabled.

2️⃣ Enable IPv6

```bash
sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=0
sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6=0
```

3️⃣ Make it permanent\
Edit `/etc/sysctl.conf` and add:

```
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 0
net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 0
```

Then reload:

```bash
sudo sysctl -p
```

4️⃣ Verify

```bash
ip -6 addr show
```

If you see an address starting with `240x:` (e.g., `2405:` or `2401:`), IPv6 is active ✅

***

#### 🪟 On Windows 10 / 11

1️⃣ Go to **Control Panel → Network and Internet → Network Connections**\
2️⃣ Right-click your current connection → **Properties**\
3️⃣ Check **“Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)”**\
4️⃣ Click OK and restart your computer

💡 Alternatively, via PowerShell (Admin):

```powershell
Enable-NetAdapterBinding -Name "Ethernet" -ComponentID ms_tcpip6
```

***

### 🌐 4. Enable IPv6 on Your Router / VPS

Most Vietnam ISPs (Viettel, VNPT, FPT) support IPv6, but it’s often disabled by default.

#### Home Router Setup

1. Log in to router: `192.168.1.1` or `192.168.0.1`
2. Go to **IPv6 Settings** or **Advanced → IPv6**
3. Enable IPv6
4. Set connection type to **DHCPv6** or **SLAAC**
5. Save and restart router

#### Recommended ISP Settings

| ISP     | Recommended Mode         |
| ------- | ------------------------ |
| Viettel | Auto / DHCPv6            |
| VNPT    | Native IPv6              |
| FPT     | Dual Stack (IPv4 + IPv6) |

#### VPS Users

Before configuring in your OS, ensure IPv6 is **enabled in your VPS dashboard** and that an address has been assigned.

### 🔍 5. Verify IPv6 Connectivity

Run:

```bash
ping6 google.com
```

Or visit: <https://ipv6-test.com/\\>
If it shows **“IPv6 Supported ✅”**, you’re all set!

***

### 🔄 6. Restart Your PCDN Node

Once IPv6 is working, restart your node service:

```bash
sudo systemctl restart pcdn
```

Or use the “Restart Node” option in your dashboard.

***

### ✅ 7. Final Checklist

| Item                             | Status |
| -------------------------------- | ------ |
| IPv6 enabled on OS               | ✅      |
| IPv6 assigned by router/VPS      | ✅      |
| `ping6` test successful          | ✅      |
| Node shows “Online” in dashboard | ✅      |

***

### 💬 Tips & Notes

* For mobile networks (4G/5G), ensure your APN mode is set to **Dual Stack (IPv4 + IPv6)**.
* Some ISPs require enabling DHCPv6 before IPv6 becomes active.
* If you still can’t connect, share a screenshot of your `ip -6 addr show` and test results in the community — our team will help you troubleshoot.

Thank you for helping build a faster, more stable PCDN network! 💪🌍

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.titanapp.info/titan-network-en/galileo-testnet/network-configuration-optimization/ipv6-setup-guide-for-pcdn-nodes.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
