I only had problems with the he.net tunnel. The SixXs tunnel        MvdV>> gave no problems.              SixXs used "local" POPs and the prefixes allocated were taken out of the block       assigned to the ASN that ran the POP servers. My POP was located in Ede, just       30 km frome here. So no problems with geolocation.               AN> I did not use SixXs, but it stopped its service anyway some years ago.              I used their tunnel until they stopped in june 2017.              http://www.vlist.eu/downloads/fidonews/myarticles/sixxscls.art       https://www.sixxs.net/sunset/               AN> The he.net tunnel ran fine for many, many years - and I had my fixed        AN> prefix where I even could provide my reverse DNS for.              I ran the he.net tunnel in parallel with the SixXs tunnel for a couple of       years.               AN> The native IPv4+IPv6 connection from Telekom does work, but as it's        AN> only a consumer-grade connection, I don't get fixed addresses or a        AN> fixed prefix. But I found a workaround using Dynv6 :)              I never understood why providers still issue dynamic adresses to their       customers. It made sense in the time of dial up. But now with "always on"       connections...              Anyway, I too have a dynamic IPv4 address and a dynamic IPv6 pefix. But in       practice it is semi static. It does not change often enough to invest time and       energy in automatic updates.               AN> So my router (Fritz!Box) calls a script on one of my rented vServers        AN> (via a https request), which in turn sets the IPv4 address and the        AN> IPv6 prefix on Dynv6 and on my own DNS zone. And it seems to work fine              Good! ;-)                     Cheers, Michiel       --- GoldED+/W32-MSVC 1.1.5-b20170303        * Origin: he.net certified sage (2:280/5555)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 19/10 30/0 80/1 90/1 105/81 106/201 120/340 123/131       SEEN-BY: 153/7715 154/10 203/0 221/0 1 6 226/30 229/424 426 428 550       SEEN-BY: 229/664 700 240/1120 5832 249/206 317 400 250/1 266/512 280/464       SEEN-BY: 280/5003 5006 5555 282/464 1038 301/0 1 101 113 812 310/31       SEEN-BY: 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45 460/58 633/280 640/1384       SEEN-BY: 712/848 920/1 2452/250 5019/40 5020/545 1042 12000 5053/58       SEEN-BY: 5058/104       PATH: 280/5555 301/1 229/426           |
