I don't have access to my Starlink router at the moment (I'm traveling) and its going to be a while before I'll be back - but one of the things I need to look at is whether I can allow incoming connections for specific ipV6 addresses (and/or ports) to allow me to run an ipV6 VPN end point from an Openwrt router running behind the Starlink connection.

My objective is to securely run a ipV6 endpoint to allow me access to devices sitting behind a Openwrt router that is using a Starlink router as its WAN connection without using bypass mode so I don't disrupt others already using the Starlink Wifi.

I know that practically putting the Starlink router in bypass mode then emulating its SSID and wifi device ID to seemlessly migrate users over to more configurable OpenWRT router would be a better option - but that's possibly going to cause some disruptions (lets say its not politically acceptable ) but perhaps opening up a ipV6 address might be.

I've had a quick look around for guides / instructions but without immediate success. I don't know whether that's because it can't do it or I'm just not finding the appropriate documentation.

Man, keep the blabber about "anti-white racism" up & Vietnam is gonna lap you in satellite internet right after China.

Namibia has rejected billionaire Elon Musk’s Starlink from operating in the country, denying the satellite internet company both a telecommunications license and access to radio spectrum.

The Communications Regulatory Authority of Namibia (CRAN) published the decision in an official government notice on Monday, March 23.

The notice did not provide specific reasons for denying Starlink’s applications but said the regulator could reconsider the decision either “on its own motion or on a petition filed by an aggrieved party” within 90 days.

In November 2024, CRAN issued a cease-and-desist order against Starlink, accusing it of operating without a license. The regulator also warned consumers against purchasing Starlink equipment and confiscated terminals that were deemed illegal.

Africa Expansion Hits Snags

Starlink, operated by SpaceX, has expanded rapidly across Africa since launching on the continent, starting in Nigeria in January 2023. By October 2023, it was active in seven countries: Nigeria, Kenya, Mozambique, Rwanda, Malawi, and Zambia, and has since grown to at least 25 nations.

Despite its rapid growth, Starlink has faced significant regulatory challenges and resistance from state-owned telecom operators in several countries, including South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Cameroon.

Elon Musk has cited South Africa’s telecommunications ownership rules as a barrier to Starlink launching in his birth country, despite strong consumer demand. He claims the company has been unable to secure an internet service provider license solely because he is not black.

Available in 150+ countries, territories, and other markets around the world, Starlink delivers speeds up to 400+ Mbps in most places globally.

I see a lot of flat mounts where people put a protective acrilic or glass over the dish, or even mount it inside cars under a glass roof. So Im wondering if it would work if I mount it under a solar panel. Solar panels are essentially a thin glass where the diods are assembled. Will those diods interfere with the antena in any way?

Are any of you based around London and using Starlink either because you are in a blackspot of Fibre / Fixed wireless or any other reason.

If so I would love to have a chat regarding your experience.

I have a spot that has no Fibre and a colleague that really wants Starlink but would love to get a view of people's experience.

As a fall back anyone in a large city using Starlink - Whats been the experience?
