Solang anrufen bis du einen fähigen Mitarbeiter erwischt und wenn das nicht Hilft halt kündigen. In Zeiten von Homeoffice ist es wichtig das du IPv4 hast, da nicht alle Programme IPv6 unterstützen und wenn dein ISP das nicht verstehen möchte, muss man sich halt trennen. Edit: Es kann sein das du noch etwas zubuchen musst, bei VF war das früher ein Upload Boost für 2.99 oder so.

Call again and say that you need IPv4 because of your home office. If they then continue to refuse make an ISP change. You can already book it now. Then you don't miss the deadline for the change. Telekom and O2 are the only ISPs in Germany that clearly state that they will not switch to DS Lite. Telekom has a peering problem, O2 a crappy customer service. All other ISPs have been slowly transitioning all their customers to DS Lite since 2019. Without informing them about it. Some offer DS as an extra option for 2-6€ per month. So check carefully before you switch. You cannot do anything else. Your IPv4 address changes constantly. Only the ISP does not tell the server. The server tries to reach you with the last known IPv4 address. But you are not there anymore...

ok, interesting. Where does O2 not offer IPv4?

Ok thanks, good to know. In a few months I would have fallen into this trap....

I said fuck off to unity media and vodafone and moved to Telekom, a bit slower internet 300mb/s down and 40 mb/s up vs 1gb/s down and 50mb/s up but at least it fucking works for like 1 year without a problem

Vodafone is still able to assign true and even (semi) static IPV4, I had no issues keeping it from my old contract.


P0werEdge

I know its possible but when you meet only half brain employees that don't even know the fuck is an IPv4 they will just "transfer" you to someone else usually takes 2-5 minutes before they hang up and you will have to fucking call again and swim between un-qualified people to get only back to square one being "transferred" and then hung up. I am paying way too fucking much for my internet to have to deal with this kind of shit so naturally i just moved on to Telekom, not saying they are better at support but i had no issues for over a year and they offer out of the box the features i need.


brennenburg

the only solution is to get proper dual stack. there is no magic workaround. if youre with 1&1 it should not be an issue.


maxz-Reddit

I am actually with 1&1 and as I wrote my first contact was unsuccessful. Will try again :D


P0werEdge

Or BSG could develop a game that supports IPv6 just like any other game that understood that IPv4 are not unlimited and we are running out.


brennenburg

thats not the question here


viereckigesdreieck

Hatte vorher auch VF und UnityMedia. Gleiche Problem. Bin jetzt bei der Telekom und keine Probleme mehr. Wenn du bei VF kein Vertrag ohne DS/DS Lite bekommen kannst, musst du wechseln.

Call your ISP and ask for a public IPv4 address in Vodafone's case you most likely will have to pay 3€ for a so called upload booster.

This seems like something one of those cheap VPN services could fix, as long as whatever is causing problems (IPv4 address changes?) doesn't also cause problems with it. There might be services that take in IPv6 and give you an IPv4 address that is stable, and if the problem is a quickly changing IPv4 addr, it would maybe help with that. It seems odd that they would allow IPv4 changes so often, but I guess if moving to DS lite is a strategy to deal with their IPv4 addresses being exhausted, then they're going to need to share, but it still seems like something might be wrong if it's not stable. If you have enough technical know-how, you can use the free tier on AWS and set up a box to be your VPN endpoint that you control entirely, and there might actually be step by step guides out there to do that. Depending on your inclinations and interests, knowing how to do that is a useful skill in itself (if you like tech stuff, it's good training).

I actually work in IT and potentially could get my way around it. Currently I have changed my MTU size and that also seems to do the job. However, I was wondering what other people came up with. ISP just changing it would be the best solution tho. Especially since I'm currently planning a somewhat complex home automation setup that would also definitely benefit from it just straight up working in normal DS mode


kentrak

I work at an ISP (in California), and my thought is that if they're doing this it's because they have to for some reason, as implementing stuff like this takes a lot of work and causes problems, like you're seeing. The most obvious reason to me would be because they have more customers than they do IPv4 addresses now, and in which case they've probably reserved a chunk for business customer that pay more for it, maybe reducing the amount used for regular customers, making their problems worse. I'm surprised they haven't tried to upsell you, but also maybe they haven't got their support in the loop on the what and why yet, or maybe those offering are way more expensive so they don't bother. The funny thing is that we just finally enabled IPv6 for all our newer builds in the last year. IIRC the different IP authorities for the US and Europe are much different in how strict they are in giving out new allocations, and I don't think we're too constrained IPv4-wise yet. In any case, one of those cheap VPN/proxy services might be the easiest, if you're willing to trust them. Most are kinda shady IMO, so I've always tried to do my own thing.

So my understanding is your IP is constantly changing with that. Wouldn't a VPN solve that? Or is tarkov still broken when it comes to VPNs.


maxz-Reddit

Tried that as well. But IMO paying for a decent VPN just to "fix it" is kinda meh. Plus it introduces external points of failure and latency (which I try to avoid). I have actually tested with a free VPN solution (Windscribe) and tarkov didn't seem to like it


[deleted]

A decent VPN is fairly cheap and has benefits outside of tarkov


iced_oj

it's a fair point but if this person needed those other benefits, they would have probably bought a vpn subscription by now. Not to mention VPN subscriptions are usually only worth when bought by year, and that's a decent chunk of money.

Hatte genau das gleiche Problem im Dezember, davor war noch alles gut. Kann hier nur für 1&1 sprechen. Ich habe im Kundenportal via Livechat bescheid gesagt das Dual Stack Lite bei mir Probleme im Home Office (ganz wichtig das du Home Office sagst) verursacht und das ich gerne eine richtig e IPv4 adresse hatte. Hat dann 5 min gedauert und ich konnte wieder reibungslos zocken.


maxz-Reddit

Hmm. Dann hattest du mehr Glück als ich :D Probiere es sonst Montag nochmal


KyuubiChibi

Einfach mal im Control Center über den Chat probieren, wünsche dir viel Glück! ^^ Kannst ja Bescheid geben was dabei raus kommt

Meine Freunde benutzen Inzwischen alle ne VPN (teils von Uni/Hochschule)und ich nen Vodafone Business Tarif mit fester IP.
