I'd also like to know more about this.

  If your ISP gives you a native IPv6 address you can connect to it remotely. If not you'll need to configure a tunnel. You could find this is as easy as installing `miredo`, for example a debian system run: apt-get install miredo That will then automatically give you a globally routable IPv6 address - which you can view via "ip -6 addr list", and which you can connect to remotely, again you'll need IPv6 on the remote system. (e.g. I have IPv6 on my home network, and on my laptop. When traveling I can SSH to my home network via the IPv6 address I've got.)

    I must be missing something - if the tunnel is only on the PC, and outwards it's just ipv4, how does the router know to route it back without some fkrwrding configuration?
    • stevekemp 10y ago
      The other end of the tunnel knows how to reach your desktop, via the IPv4 address it has when the link was negotiated. Just trust me, it works like magic :)

        Oh man. "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic". I must understand this technology! Indeed sounds magical.
