[plug] Exploring world of ipv6 - tunnels

[Craig Foster]

GoGo6 (Go6.net), SixXS (sixxs.net)and Hurricane Electric (he.net) all do tunnel broking, and all of them have copy and paste ifconfig scripts available.
GoGo6 config can also be used on AARNet's broker (broker.aarnet.net.au)

HE also have tests / certification, not that it's industry regarded :P

IPv6 completely bypasses NAT and IPv4 firewalls, but it just means you need to configure an IPv6 firewall where each machine has an internet address...

Been dual homed on AARNet for a little bit, and on HE for about a year.
