IPv6 Tunnel Brokers?

Posted by Cliff on from the exploring-the-new-technologies dept.

thedillybar asks: "I have noticed the appearance of many IPv6 Tunnel Brokers which allow anyone to sign-up and tunnel IPv6 over their current IPv4 connection. Hurricane Electric and BT Exact both offer tunnels here and here, respectively. For those of you using a tunnel like this, what do you think of their reliability and use as a development tool?"

    Just thought I'd mention you get a "sorry you cannot access this page because you don't run a microsoft or netscape browser" page. I know it is easy to work around this, but why should I have to...

    I cannot stand stupid companies that are to lazy to make a standards compliant website.

    I've been using HE.net for my my IPv6 Tunnel. I got a /64 too. I've only had one problem when they did a little routing clean-up, was down for like a day or something, But had never really had a problem.

    ...what I want to know is, what IPv6 applications are people developing? What are the new capabilities? All that most of us know about IPv6 is that it increases the address space.
