In MVNOs that provide IPv6 services Now available for iPhone!

Internet Initiative Japan (hereafter referred to as IIJ) is the latest platform for iPhones and iPads, which has been distributed by Apple since the early morning of March 28 in Japan time on the 28th. We have announced that IPv6 can now be set in the APN configuration profile in iOS 10.3. Apple's official web page "Configuration Profile Reference" also indicates that "DefaultProtocolMask" and "AllowedProtocolMask" that can specify IPv4 and IPv6 are available in iOS 10.3 and later as "Available in iOS 10.3 and later". increase. As a result, if the mobile phone service side provides IPv6, by describing DefaultProtocolMask etc. in the APN configuration profile, it is now possible to communicate with IPv6 even on iPhone and iPad. In addition, IIJ is provisionally distributing an APN configuration profile for IPv6 for the mobile phone service "IIJmio (Type D)", which the company rents lines from NTT DoCoMo and provides as a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO). increase. In addition, since the company does not yet have a sufficient track record in IPv6 services for iPhones, etc., there may be some side effects and troubles may occur, so we are guiding you to try it only if you can handle it to some extent. Corresponding part of Apple's official web page "Configuration Profile Reference"Each telecommunications carrier is sequentially providing IPv6 services toward depletion of IP addresses, and au is relatively active among Japanese mobile phone operators , and NTT DoCoMo recently announced that IPv6 may be granted from around April 2017.

From around April 2017, an #IPv6 address may be assigned when accessing the Internet from a #docomo terminal. If your IP address is restricted when connecting to your own server, change the settings now. For details → https://t.co/cblmNM9lZ0 Responsible pix

— NTT Docomo developer information (@docomo_dev_info) February 7, 2017 IIJ is also actively providing IPv6, and many Android models have been able to use IPv6, and IIJmio (type A ) includes a description that enables IPv6 in the carrier settings (KDDI), not in the APN configuration profile, so IPv6 has been available from the beginning of the service on iPhones and other devices. On the other hand, other NTT Docomo line MVNOs, including IIJmio (type D), have IPv4 in the carrier settings (NTT Docomo), and the carrier settings are overwritten from the APN configuration profile for MVNO settings and the iOS settings screen. I couldn't use IPv6 until now because I can't. This time, with iOS 10.3, IPv4 and IPv6 can be specified in the APN configuration profile, so IIJmio (type D) can now communicate with IPv6 by installing a dedicated APN configuration profile on iPhone. In addition, IIJ says that if IPv6 connection service is provided by other NTT Docomo line MVNOs, IPv6 can be communicated by rewriting the APN configuration profile and specifying 'DefaultProtocolMask' or 'AllowedProtocolMask'. However, IIJ MVNO Division Senior Engineer Kiyotaka Doumae commented on his Twitter account, "Please note that there are very few MVNOs that support IPv6." I actually tried it with several MVNOs such as "LINE Mobile", but at the moment IPv6 communication was not possible.

(Digression) Regarding the description of "other MVNOs". I wrote this because I thought that MVNO users who do not support IPv6 might get confused, saying, "I tried rewriting my profile, but I can't use IPv6. Is there something wrong with my description?" Please note that there are very few MVNOs that support IPv6.

— How about @IIJ (@IIJ_doumae) March 28, 2017According to IIJ, in addition to IPv4 and IPv6, tethering can only be specified in the carrier settings at present, and cannot be specified in the APN configuration profile or setting screen. This is the reason why tethering with iPhone is not possible with au line MVNO etc. Article written by: memn0ck ■Related links ・S-MAX ・S-MAX smaxjp on Twitter ・S-MAX - Facebook page ・Tokurogu: iOS 10.3 Release IPv6 can be used on iPhone (iPhone・iPad operation check) Tweet< /tr>
