## I can ping||curl||wget a cjdns ipv6, but I can't browse to it. What's up?

-It's most likely a problem with your browser. If you are using Firefox||Iceweasel||Chrome||Chromium, we know about this, and there's a fix.

In Firefox or Iceweasel, everything should work out of the box (on Debian and Ubuntu, at least). Mint is weird, and has for some reason disabled IPV6 by default in their Firefox package. You can turn it on by entering `about:config` in your omnibox. You may get some sort of warning about it being possible to break things, ignore it and proceed. Enter `IPv6` in the search field that appears. There should be an entry: `disableIPv6`, and it is likely set to `true`. Set it to be false, and just to be sure, close the browser completely and reopen it to test things out.
|
|
|
|
|
|
-If you are using chrome or chromium, you probably need to relaunch the browser using a flag that enables ipv6. `chromium-browser --enable-ipv6` or `google-chrome --enable-ipv6` should do the trick.

-If you're having trouble browsing to a raw ipv6 string, keep in mind that different programs still use different formats for entering such ip addresses. Most browsers require that you enclose the address in square brackets, like `http://[fce3:4ece:ab11:505e:21aa:fc21:bf42:62b9]/` <- this.

-It's also possible that everything's configured properly, but you don't have a route to the node you're trying to find. When this is the case, you can try to strengthen the connection according to <a class="clearnet" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebbian_theory">Hebbian Theory</a>, which, in neuroscience, is the idea that 'cells that fire together, wire together'. You might not know a route to that node, but it might have one to you. Getting them to ping you, if possible, should give you a better connection. If they can't, have them ping nearby nodes that they can find. You should do the same. Consult <a href="http://www.fc00.org">www.fc00.org</a> to get a better idea of what nodes you should look for.

Pretty much any distro will work, though some may require more tweaks.
