Accessing the IPv6 web with squid 3.1

That’s it, Squid 3.1 is in the FreeBSD ports. Squid 3.1 is still a beta but it’s nearing a release.

This means I can now access ipv6.google.com (and obviously other IPv6 sites), through my local proxy. Unfortunately I’m redirected to the French version, which seems to lack the dancing “Google” letters. The good old Kame turtle works, on the other end. How’s that for a killer-app?

IPv6 is the unleaded gas (or the organic food) of IP: it doesn’t seem to bring anything concrete, unless you look at the bigger picture.
