Requirements

• IPv6 on your server
• Invidious works in IPv6
• Install these two python packages:
  • pyroute2
  • requests

How to setup (very simple tutorial for the moment)

1. Git clone the repository somewhere
2. Copy the file config.py.example to config.py.
3. Change the ipv6_subnet to your IPv6 subnet. If you do not know it, you can use a tool like http://www.gestioip.net/cgi-bin/subnet_calculator.cgi
4. Run once the script using sudo python smart-ipv6-rotator.py run
5. If everything went well then configure a cron for periodically rotate your IPv6 range. Once per day is enough for YouTube servers.

TODO

• Allow to configure your IPv6 subnets yourself. (Could be used for other projects)
• Better handle in case of errors in configuring IPv6 routes. Rollback the changes automatically
• Argument for testing if the setup will work without permanently do any modification.
• Allow to specify a specific network interface + ipv6 gateway instead of automatically discovering it.
• Arg for spit out the IPv6 subnet of the current default ipv6 address instead of saying to use gestioip.net tool.
