since Version 12.4.1.0
Web Server & IPv6
No matter if your internet provider offers native IPv4, native IPv6 or DS-Lite only – go1984 provides the optimal solution for secure remote access to your video surveillance system.
ℹ️ Port Configuration
For access via the internet, the ports used by the go1984 web server – HTTPS 1983 and HTTP 1984 – must be configured in the router so that requests from the internet are forwarded to the computer running go1984. This applies to both IPv4 and IPv6.
Protocol Options
Three ways – one solution.
go1984 supports all common network configurations. Choose the setting that matches your internet connection.
IPv4
Classic configuration
The proven standard. Direct port forwarding in the router to the go1984 computer. Ideal when your provider assigns a native public IPv4 address.
Recommended for DS-Lite
IPv6
Recommended for DS-Lite / CG-NAT
The future-proof solution. Essential for DS-Lite or CG-NAT connections where no public IPv4 address is available. Uses direct IPv6 reachability.
IPv4 & IPv6
Dual-stack operation
Maximum compatibility. go1984 listens on both IPv4 and IPv6 simultaneously – so clients can connect regardless of their network type.
| Protocol | Default Port | Usage | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| HTTPS | 1983 | Encrypted access to web server & clients | Recommended for remote access |
| HTTP | 1984 | Unencrypted access | Use for local testing only |
Step 1 of 3
go1984 Web Server Settings
Configure the built-in web server in go1984 according to your internet connection type.
1
go1984 web server with IPv4
Classic configuration for connections with a native public IPv4 address.
2
go1984 web server with IPv6
Our recommendation for DS-Lite / CG-NAT – uses direct IPv6 reachability.
3
go1984 web server with IPv4 & IPv6
Dual-stack: Maximum compatibility by running both protocols simultaneously.
Step 2 of 3
Windows Network Settings
Make sure that IPv6 is correctly enabled in your Windows network settings.
1
Change adapter options
Open the Windows network settings and navigate to the adapter options.
2
Adapter properties
Open the properties of your network adapter.
3
Check & enable IPv6
Check that IPv6 is enabled and the default settings are set.
Step 3 of 3
Router / Firewall Settings
Configure your router (e.g. Fritz!Box) for IPv6 port forwarding and DDNS.
1
Check online monitor
Check in the Fritz!Box online monitor whether IPv6 is active. If it is grayed out, select the IPv4 option in go1984.
2
Check access data
Under Internet → Access data, check whether your Fritz!Box is already configured for IPv6.
3
IPv6 network (part 1)
Leave the default settings at this point.
4
IPv6 network (part 2)
Check that "Assign DNS server only" has been selected here.
5
Configure port forwarding
If there is no share for the go1984 computer yet, select "Add device for share" – otherwise click on edit (pencil icon).
6
Add individual share
Check your IPv6 interface ID and add a new share if necessary.
7
DNS rebind protection & DDNS
To use the go1984 clients via *.mygo1984.com DDNS from your home network as well, enter "YourName.mygo1984.com" here.
