[Use the power of a /44 ipv4]

[seychelles111]

Hey I have an idea, why not buy a /44 address,

I used to have someone who could self host one with dante (I lost contact with him sadly but it works)

so here's the idea

curl -6 -x socks5://user-localhost-session-djkhf345345:password1234@localhost:8000 http://reddit.com

each session session-<random string, by user> would result in a different ipv6 address.

cite/ref : https://www.securebit.ch/internet/resources
for example /44 ipv6 can cost you as much as 15CHF per year (17.32usd$) (later you also need to have an IX server, which is pretty cheap per month around 10$)

...

now for each new webuser, it would be using a different ipv6 proxy i.e (a docker or a cluster of these [but in the future!])

requirements:
a. maybe lets use "Dante Socks5"... the backconnect/rotating proxies would be private , to avoid abuse from scrappers/spammers/malicous use

b. i.e force reddit.com to only use ipv6
c. final step, enjoy&profit... reddit not gonna ban an ip-range imo , plus many scrappers use ipv6 for scrapping its well known

Make session expire, after 30m etc

You're paying for another sketchy nonfree service... to avoid paying for reddit?

its not the point its actually a good idea imo

think about it you can have 300 users with it,
ipv6 is powerful!

How does reddit's IPv6 rate-limiting work, is it known? I've got a couple servers that came with a v6 /48 (though I've never used more than 1 IPv6 at a time)

[seychelles111]

most rate limiters are per ip ... you can have millions of ipv4 theres I bet you can use aws vpc they give you /56 address which is a lot of millions

[avincent98144]

not for me .. tried over a dozen global vpn’s w/ the same url once I hit the rate limits .. and never did the rate limits ‘reset’. I suspect there is some hefty fingerprinting behind all this

He suggest it to be per ip

Reddit doesn't support ipv6.

[xyzeva]

Reddit (atleast in their normal www.reddit.com domain) doesnt support IPv6 and that is said same for api.reddit.com, so I dont think this suggestion is viable

[xyzeva]

Nevermind! Sorry for the double post but I just found this https://ipv6.reddit.com/ link, and that does in fact support IPv6.

It also doesn't support the API: https://ipv6.reddit.com/r/Lemmy/.json

[FireMasterK]

It looks like if you use the dualstack fastly cname with www.reddit.com, that works for accessing the API.

For example, this curl command works: curl -6 -v --insecure -H "Host: www.reddit.com" "https://dualstack.reddit.map.fastly.net/r/Lemmy/.json"

This would require writing a custom DNS resolver for Hyper I guess. If proxies are used, I'm not sure whether the proxy is responsible for DNS queries or not.

I still think #818 is the way forward.

you're right this might be the wait
