Wow, this is really useful information, thank you! Since I wrote my original comment, I went out and started doing more research into this. At this point, I have my main home server[0] now accessible via IPv6 using freenet6. However, I did apply for SixXS, so I can hopefully put my entire house on it (my router's an Asus WL-520GU, which currently has DD-WRT on it, but is compatible with OpenWRT). Though I'll be looking more into the Hurricane Electric service. I'm really liking this, since now I can access my devices directly, without having to try to negotiate firewalls and weird subnets! Thanks very much for the advice!

No problem! Very happy to convince someone new to try IPv6. Please feel free to get in touch if you run into trouble. Re: DD-WRT, last I checked it did not come with an IPv6 firewall, ip6tables. I ended up recompiling it using what seemed to be Voodoo magic (match the arch, release, kernel version, etc.) OpenWRT comes with the firewall on by default and a web GUI to control it. As for the different tunnel brokers (of which TunnelBroker.net is one), I should not assume you are in the US. Freenet6 is great. So is SixXS, though watch out to not lose credits and have your tunnel cut off. TunnelBroker.net is run by Hurricane Electric, has been rock solid for me and their support (for this free product) is fantastic. Also, check out dns.he.net to set up reverse DNS, or just use them as your DNS provider. This service is also very nice and free.
