The professional IPv6 router
Like the VIIRB, the PIB is designed to provide IPv6 connectivity for you. Compared to the VIIRB, the PIB is suited for more professional use cases. It features Gigabit Ethernet and up to 4 GB RAM at a very low energy consumption.
How it works
The PIB is pre-configured with a Wireguard VPN. With this VPN you will receive a /48 IPv6 prefix. The IPv6 connectivity is provided by Data Center Light.
When you plug in the ethernet cable and power it on, it will do the following:
- Establish a VPN connection via IPv4 or IPv6 to Data Center Light
- Announce a pre-configured /64 network on the LAN
- Announce a pre-configured /64 network on the Wifi (optional)
By default the firewall is configured to allow outgoing connections from LAN/Wifi towards the VPN. Incoming ICMP6, SSH, HTTP and HTTPS is open by default.
PIB use cases
The configuration and uses cases are the same as the VIIRB. Additionally the PIB is suited for bigger scale operations with 3 gigabit ports.
