Building an IPv6-Only Network with Jool: A Practical Guide

This post details setting up an IPv6-only network on Linux using the Jool tool. The author starts by highlighting the limitations of traditional dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 home networks. Jool is introduced as a superior alternative to TAYGA, emphasizing its support for Stateful NAT64. The guide provides installation instructions for various Linux distributions, followed by a comprehensive walkthrough of configuring Stateful NAT64, DNS64, and IPv4-to-IPv6 port mapping to achieve IPv4 access within an IPv6-only environment. Persistence of the configuration across reboots is also covered.
