Hi all
I hope this is the right place to ask this question. I am pretty new in this site, eventhough I joined years ago. I have been using calibre for quite some time, has successfully enabled calibre server over my windows 10, and I can access the library and download books over my local wifi.
I dont know how to enable the library to be accessed over the internet. I read the calibre manual and it asks me to put the machine IP in the requested field. I have been using my local IP up until now (192.168.0.1). When I tried to configure the internet acccess, something I have never done before, I noticed that my ISP has started using IPV6. IPV6 is totally different from the IPV4 that I am used to, its really long and complicated and I dont even know how to approach this. Also I dont know anything about port forwarding, or even if I would be needing this.
Would someone be kind enough to give some pointers here? Or atleast direct me to a guide someone has posted elsewhere? Thanks for reading. Regards:help:
