The Future of Connectivity with IPv6

As the world becomes increasingly connected, Neptune Internet is proud to be a leader in next-generation internet technology. By offering IPv6 to all our subscribers, we’re doing more than just keeping you connected—we’re preparing you for a future of limitless possibilities, enhanced security, and seamless device connectivity. With Neptune Internet, you’re investing in an infrastructure that’s built to grow with you, ensuring safety, speed, and flexibility every step of the way.

Unlike some other NBN ® Providers, Neptune Internet is an ISP that supports IPv6 Prefix Delegation, providing our subscribers with a generous /48 allocation. Both DHCPv6 and DHCPv6-PD are fully supported, ensuring seamless connectivity and network configuration flexibility.


Why IPv6 with Neptune Internet Means Superior Security

IPv6 isn’t just about having more addresses—it’s also designed to be more secure. At Neptune Internet, our IPv6 implementation provides unparalleled security features that go above and beyond what IPv4 can offer:

1. Built-In IPsec for End-to-End Security

Unlike IPv4, which requires additional configurations for secure communications, IPv6 has IPsec (Internet Protocol Security) integrated as a standard feature. This protocol encrypts and authenticates data as it moves across the network, ensuring that your information remains safe and private. With Neptune Internet’s IPv6, your data is protected from end to end, giving you confidence in the security of your network.

2. Defense Against Network Scanning and Spoofing Attacks

IPv6 has larger address spaces that make it more challenging for hackers to perform network scanning and spoofing attacks. Neptune’s IPv6 setup mitigates the risk of common attacks by providing an extensive range of addresses, making it difficult for attackers to locate and compromise devices on your network.

3. Robust Protection for Your IoT Devices

As more homes and businesses adopt IoT (Internet of Things) devices, security becomes a top priority. With IPv6, each device can have its own unique IP address, making it easier to secure each individual device and detect suspicious activity. Neptune Internet’s IPv6 infrastructure gives you the foundation to protect and monitor all your connected devices, keeping them safe from potential threats.


Why Neptune Internet’s /48 Delegated Prefix is a Game-Changer

When you choose Neptune Internet, you’re not just getting IPv6—you’re getting a /48 delegated prefix that’s built for flexibility, scalability, and future-proof security. Here’s what that means for you:

  • Immense Address Space
    Our /48 prefix provides approximately 1.2 septillion (1.2 × 10^24) addresses. That’s more than enough to accommodate every device, from smartphones to smart appliances, while giving you plenty of room to grow.

  • Powerful Network Configuration Options
    With Neptune’s /48 delegated prefix, you get 65,536 /64 subnets, each capable of hosting over 18 quintillion devices. This flexibility allows you to organize and secure your network however you see fit, segmenting by device type, location, or purpose.


Unmatched Device Connectivity, Organization, and Security

At Neptune Internet, our IPv6 /48 delegated prefix gives you the tools you need for secure, organized, and scalable device management:

  • Flexible Device Grouping
    The 65,536 subnets allow you to set up distinct, isolated networks for specific device categories—like IoT devices, home security systems, and personal computers—keeping your network organized and more secure.

  • Built-In Security for Large-Scale Connectivity
    Every device within each subnet can be uniquely addressed and monitored, making it easier to identify and mitigate any security threats. Neptune’s IPv6 ensures that your connected devices are protected with top-tier security, making your network resilient against unauthorized access.
