Yesterday I used nat64.net and everything was already working, but I wanted to do it all locally. So, I tried setting up a VLAN with only IPv6, using NAT64 and DNS64. I installed an OpenBSD VM on (mastodon.bsd.cafe)

Yesterday I used nat64.net and everything was already working, but I wanted to do it all locally. So, I tried setting up a VLAN with only IPv6, using NAT64 and DNS64. I installed an OpenBSD VM on bhyve, mapped the ethernet ports, and configured unbound, pf, and rad in just three minutes - everything works. Without using any external packages.

The simplicity and completeness of OpenBSD and its base system is always a source of joy.

pkg_mgr : a package manager for OpenBSD (rhaalovely.net)

I see posts on the Fediverse sometimes asking "which OpenBSD utility do you always install". For me, the first thing I choose to install is pkg_mgr.

Package manager gives you a nice curses based terminal tool to look at package info and select multiple packages. While I generally prefer to use pkg_add and pkg_delete directly, I almost always use pkg_mgr to find software based on keywords.
