Hurricane Electric offering free IPv6 tunneling

Contributed by Dengue on from the and-you-thought-the-poll-was-a-coincidence dept.

Hurricane Electric , (they provide bandwidth for OpenBSD Journal) is offering free IPv6 tunneling services. It is mostly geared towards developers and experimenters, with the ability to get your very own /64 prefix once a tunnel is up, along with a full view of the IPv6 BGP4+ routing table. It's free of charge for anybody.

I set this up yesterday (while recovering from a vicious cold), and it's a breeze.

    Great, so how is HE's colo pricing anyway? I mean, not that you're paying by the looks of it - but some of us might be curious. Base rates for a 1U start at...? How much bandwidth?

    I guess I could e-mail and ask, but I know I'm not the only deadly.org reader or OBSD user interested in reasonably priced colocation facitilies.

    Neat!

    I've have a IPv6 tunel connection via freenet and I can't get to your system, but I can get to other IPv6 sites.

    So, I've got a tunnel to freenet6 over IPv4: can I use both freenet6 and this HE tunnel?
