MySQL 8.0 Release Notes
MySQL 8.0 Source Code Documentation
If you do not have a public IPv6 address that enables your system to communicate over IPv6 outside your local network, you can obtain one from an IPv6 broker. The Wikipedia IPv6 Tunnel Broker page lists several brokers and their features, such as whether they provide static addresses and the supported routing protocols.
After configuring your server host to use a broker-supplied IPv6
address, start the MySQL server with an appropriate
bind_address setting to permit
the server to accept IPv6 connections. You can specify * (or
::) as the
bind_address value, or bind the
server to the specific IPv6 address provided by the broker. For
more information, see the
bind_address description in
Section 7.1.8, “Server System Variables”.
Note that if the broker allocates dynamic addresses, the address provided for your system might change the next time you connect to the broker. If so, any accounts you create that name the original address become invalid. To bind to a specific address but avoid this change-of-address problem, you might be able to arrange with the broker for a static IPv6 address.
The following example shows how to use Freenet6 as the broker and the gogoc IPv6 client package on Gentoo Linux.
