My he.net       tunnel is terminated in Amsterdam.              However, I like the static /64 and /48 from HE and I still use it for       server purposes.              Now I also have a private /112 network out of my Hetzner /64, so I now       have a fixed ipv6 for my laptop and my telephone, even if I'm out       travelling. Like now.              And that Hetzner /64 is in Finland, so no problems with finnish services.              'Tommi       --- Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0; WOW64; rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101        hunderbird/68.12.1        * Origin: nntp://rbb.fidonet.fi - Lake Ylo - Finland (2:221/1.0)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 30/0 80/1 90/1 105/81 120/340 123/131 153/7715       SEEN-BY: 154/10 203/0 221/1 6 360 226/30 229/424 426 428 550 664 700       SEEN-BY: 230/0 240/1120 5832 249/206 317 400 266/512 280/464 5003       SEEN-BY: 280/5555 282/464 1038 292/854 301/0 1 101 113 812 317/3 320/219       SEEN-BY: 322/757 342/200 396/45 423/81 460/58 633/280 712/848 920/1       SEEN-BY: 5020/1042 5058/104       PATH: 221/1 301/1 229/426           |
