I recently got an ipv6 address to my device and also have another ipv6 to another user who is in different location. my question is how can I connect to his computer running Linux or windows with ipv6.

please help me

  • If all the basics of IPv6 support (addressing, routing, and DNS) are set up correctly for your device and for the remote device you'll be connecting to, then connecting to its fully qualified host name (like OtherUsersDevice.example.com) should just work. If it doesn't just work, you'll need to tell is what protocol/app you want to use, what you tried so far, and exactly what result you got when you tried.

In the same way as you did it via ipv4 by using UDP/TCP-sockets. The game is still the same, DNS, ip, tcp/udp-port. SSH, remote desktop- when using names within the URL you won't see a difference. Of course, on wire you will see the new addresses and the AAAA-records.

  • It depends on it what you want. Your question was very general. O course you should have IPv6-connectivity. You may have DNS-records(AAAA and PTR) otherwise you should use the IPs directly - sometimes in brackets []. You should read network tutorials - IPv4 and IPv6. Sep 4, 2017 at 6:31
  • For simple connection between tow linux boxes start sshd on one site and use ssh user@2001:db8::1 on the other site. Or vncserver at one site and vncviewer [2001:db8::1]:1 on the other. Sep 4, 2017 at 6:40
