@shoppingtonz @alternativeto @torproject also every #Tunneling - regardless if #SSH or #VPN or whatever - will inevitably introduce #latency (unless you happen to be customer of a shitty #ISP with horrible #peering and thus can cut down on hops needed, which is AFAIK only a theoretical scenario)...

In fact I stopped using #HEnet #Tunnelbroker and #IPv6-#GIF-Tunneling because it created more issued than it solved on my #IPv4only #Internet connection…

Hold on a sec, now with a static IPv4 I could probably just extrude an #IPv6 subnet or two from my Hetzner-machine in .fi instead of a #HEnet tunnel in Stockholm...

@rail @lucy Worse is that workarounds I used for decades ain't cutting it anymore.

#HEnet's https://tunnelbroker.net isn't an option in the #Splinternet as #Geoblockibg is a thibg and for some asshole reason entire ASes get geolocated so even tho my PoP is in FRA / FFM I get GeoIP'd in the USA...

Goddamit!!!

And yes, they could just give me a /48 cuz they have that in stock but they refuse to do so...

Hurricane Electric Free IPv6 Tunnel Broker

Pinged my ISP about #ipv6 today, since I know their upstream already offers it.

Not 5 minutes later they reply that they're rolling it out this fall...I'll just pretend that it's because I talked with the installation-guy about it when they pulled the fiber before summer.

Spotify and Netflix are thoroughly confused by #HEnet tunnels via Stockholm, and I get to hear interesting interstitials from other parts of the world :-)

Reverse zones for #IPv6 tunnels from #HEnet are in our #BIND9 😀

Of course there's always a "0." missing somewhere.

Now onward to script some dynamic DNS updates, I'm not going to write any more of this nonsense by hand!

I should have noticed earlier that with two NICs and only a single /64 #ipv6 allocation this would end in tears. Or at least SLAAC does, and for the various -devices that's really the only option.

Fortunately #HEnet is handing out /48s like candy.

Does anyone know what's up here at #HEnet #Tunnelbroker #ipv6?

Same for blog.fefe.de, but e.g. to Hetzner (in FI) it works just fine. Feels to me like something over there needs a kick.

I found that there's a fiber-company down the hill that offers twice the speed for half the price over my current provider. It seems they target more commercial customers, so I figure why not...

I feel I'm getting punished by my current provider anyway for not taking the TV-package etc.

New price would be ca. 40 EUR/500mbit. No IPv6, though, but I guess #HEnet tunnelbroker will work nicely.

Goodbye, he.net, it's been a good few years, but you seem to be letting your network quality rot on the vine, at least for London-brokered tunnels. Let the route48.org era commence!
