Windows-itpro-docs: 6in4 (v6v4tunnel)

[treysis]

This function has ceased to work. However, it's not exactly 6to4, but still a transition technology. Has this been forgotten to be mentioned under deprecated features? Also, if it is newly disabled in 1803 (as opposed to 1709 and before), is there a way to enable it? Documentation on this is very scarce.

Any news on this?

[treysis]

Really no news? It's also an issue on every insider build.

Has this been forgotten to be mentioned under deprecated features?

It's mentioned under the name of "Direct Tunnels".

[treysis]

Well, I understand that now. However, it says it has "always" been disabled by default. But from at least Vista up until including 1709 it was working just fine. Disabled in this sense probably only meant that there is no default setup and you have to find your own tunnel broker to enable/activate it. However, with 1803 even activation is not possible anymore. Nettun.inf has simply been purged. No way to activate it anymore.

Dear @treysis,
in the article it doesn't says that it is "disabled in 1803", instead, it says: "We are no longer actively developing these features and may remove them from a future update"
as to disabled, it says about previous versions, not 1803 (in the "Instead you can use" column)
so I think, the article shouldn't be updated, what do you think?
Thank you

Dear @MaratMussabekov
thank you for your reply. v6v4tunnel was simply broken in 1803 because they changed how it is working. It has been fixed with the new method in 1809 and is working fine again. So, whatever they mean by "disabled", this was simply a bug that got fixed after all.
