Why have a personal webserver? Easy distribution of files.
Why support IPv6 and IPv4? Not only is it cool, but it is very easy to do. IPv6 is the future of the internet, setting up a little personal webserver that supports both protocols will help you learn about the future.

You have seen Craig carrying around routers, but he has never shown you what is inside. In this session, Craig will show you the Open Source alternative to Router Software, which supports over 1000 router models. There is a good chance your router is supported by OpenWrt/LEDE.

OpenWrt/LEDE also have excellent IPv6 support. What could be better to prepare you for the future of the internet.

We’ll recap what we learned in Part 1, and then expand our knowledge of how IPv6 really is different from IPv4 by learning about:
• Router Advertisements – Good info from the router
• Dive into DNS a bit more, learning about AAAA records
• Sniffing the network with wireshark
Resource: Craig Miller
