Bug #: 35542
Summary: Provide general means to map IP address spaces (IPv4
to IPv6 and back)
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Keywords: ipv6
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General/Unknown
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Blocks: 35540
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
There are some tunneling protocols, like:
* 6to4
* Teredo
* ISATAP
where it is possible to derive real IPv4 address of the user even if he's
connecting via IPv6 to us. While we *may* use their IPv6 address for
contributions, we definitely should canonicalize those addresses for purposes
like blocking and CheckUser.
We might need to have something like "79.163.138.172 (via
2002:4fa3:8aac::4fa3:8aac)" to be available (at least to CheckUsers if not
broader).
We might end up needing a proxy gateway IP address somewhere as well, to block
some bad proxies (see bug 23343) or to trust them by the means of similar to
current XFF whitelist features (like
