Why not set up your own tunnel with Hurricane Electric instead?
- wmf 9y agoThat's the same problem: your IPv6 is worse than your IPv4. The lesson learned from 6bone, HE, 6to4, 6rd, and Teredo is that we need native IPv6 or nothing. Tunneled IPv6 is worse than no IPv6 due to its unreliability.
- vetinari 9y agoI'm actually quite impressed with HE. They are essentially donating IPv6 bandwidth to the tune of 50Mbit per tunnel.
- danudey 9y agoFor home users, Netflix blocks Hurricane Electric (sometimes?) because it can serve as a proxy for non-US users. I haven't had it happen in every case, but it blocked users at work from connecting and at home I got US Netflix instead of Canadian.
- chrissnell 9y agoTunneled IPv6 through HE is more reliable than the average big ISP 6rd gateway but it doesn't solve the problem of latency. More than likely, you're still crossing a significant amount of network distance just to get to their gateway and then however much farther to your destination. The latency just isn't worth it.
