    Hello Fernando,

    Tuesday March 17 2026 10:25, I wrote to you:

    I'm switch from Claro to Movistar (Argentina)

    I notice that the new provider don't assing me ivp6 address.. =(
    so I will talk with the suport to try to get it work again.

    IPv6 is indeed not working presently. You did not check for IPv6 with Movistar before making the switch?

    Any progress?


    Cheers, Michiel

    That is the link local address. Not6hing wrong with it.

    inet6 fd24:26d6:b35c:f200:523e:aaff:fe0f:fb01 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x0<global>

    Thats a so called ULA ( Unique Local Address) Usefull for some but these adrresses are not globally routable. a bit like 100.64.xx.xx.

    fd24:: will no route to internet, true?

    Indeed. What you need is a globally routable IPv6 address. These start with 2xxx

    So you need to talk to you povider again.


    Cheers, Michiel
