3 + # Linux setup
4 + 1. Add `net.ipv6.ip_nonlocal_bind=1` to `/etc/sysctl.conf`
5 + 2. Reload sysctl with `sysctl -p`
6 + 3. Find your IPv6 public subnet using `ip -6 a`. Example: `2a03:b0c0:3:d0::1d4f:1/64`
7 + 4. Execute this command and change `YOURIPV6SUBNET` with the subnet found above:
8 + ```
9 + /sbin/ip -6 route add local YOUR_IPV6_SUBNET dev lo
10 + ```
11 + 5. Test if the setup works by incrementing the IPv6 address by default, for example from `2a03:b0c0:3:d0::1d4f:2` to `2a03:b0c0:3:d0::1d4f:3`.
12 + Then use that address in this command: `curl --interface THEIPV6ADDRESS icanhazip.com`
13 + 6. If you get the IPv6 address and a successful response then you are done with the setup!
14 +
15 + # Use this new ability in your program
16 + Like shown above you can now send requests using any IPv6 address in your IPv6 range.
17 + You need to find the ability to change your source address when sending an HTTP request for example.
18 +
19 + Here are some example in various languages:
20 + - NodeJS:
21 + ```
22 + var https = require('https');
23 + var options = { host:'icanhazip.com',path:'/',localAddress:'A_RANDOM_IPV6_ADDRESS_IN_YOUR_RANGE',family:6 };
24 + callback = function(response) {
25 + var data = '';
26 + response.on('data',function(chunk) { data+= chunk; });
27 + response.on('error',function(error) { console.log("error: "+error.message); });
28 + response.on('end',function() {
29 + console.log(data);
30 + });
31 + }
32 + https.request(options,callback).end();
33 + ```
34 + Found in [https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/4139](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/4139#issuecomment-221406802)
35 + - python: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72784772/how-to-specify-source-ip-address-in-python-requests
36 +
37 + You need to implement some kind of rotating logic into your code for picking a random IPv6 address, this can easily be done by looking at some implementation like https://github.com/ycd/ipv6-rotator/blob/main/src/rotator/rotator.rs or using existing librairies: https://www.npmjs.com/package/random-ipv6
38 +
39 + The power of being able to do that inside your program is that you are in control of when changing the IPv6 address and you can send multiple requests in a row (async) with different IPv6 addresses for each request.
