   Hello Anna,   
      
   On Monday November 16 2020 17:36, you wrote to me:   
      
    Mv>> For a hobby system it is no big deal if IPv6 is occasionally   
    Mv>> down for a few hours.   
      
    AN> Well, that is true, yes. But I want my setup to be stable and reliable   
    AN> - and thus I went this way and won't change it any time soon :)   
      
   In my Fidonews articles I have speculated about he.net's lifetime. Nothing is   
   forever and he.net's free tunnel service will not be the exception. Xs4All   
   sunset was three years ago. Jeroen Massar and Pim van Pelt just got tired of   
   it. There are no indications that he.net will follow any time soon, but one   
   never knows. DynDNS has stopped its free service and now wants money for it.   
      
   My experience is that - expecially with free services - it is always good to   
   have a plan B.   
      
    AN> (DynDNS)   
    Mv>> For IPv6 it is more difficult than for IPv4.   
      
    AN> A little, maybe. At least if you use "standard" DynDNS providers.   
    AN> Recently, I changed my setup so that I'm my own DynDNS provider for   
    AN> most of my needs. Thus, "box.imzadi.de" is a CNAME entry for   
    AN> "box.my.imzadi.de", and the nameserver for the "my.imzadi.de" domain   
    AN> is on my vServer and this gets the new IP at every change from my home   
    AN> router.   
      
   Ah, you run your own name server. Interesting...   
      
   You could do the same or something similar for IPv6 couldn't you?   
      
    Mv>> The he.net tunnel did a fine job, but I never   
    Mv>> got more than half the IPv4 speed.   
      
    AN> Oh, I don't notice any real slowdown here, it is "fast enough" for my   
    AN> needs :)   
      
   It was fast enough for my needs too, but it bothered me that I never found out   
   *why* it was slow. Others got much better results.   
      
   Well, I got the T-shirt. And you know what? he.net managed to have it   
   delivered exactly on my birthday. That was nice. ;-)   
      
   Cheers, Michiel
