While most of the major ISP’s are starting to support IPv6; some of us on the old Ma Bell leftovers are still waiting. Sure, they’ll run a fiber-optic line all the way to my house and pump me more bandwidth than I know what to do with; but if you want that to carry IPv6 you’re out of luck. While IPv6 tunneling was popular in the very early days when no ISP offered it; it is still very much a thing and a lot of people who require IPv6 still use it. Granted most of the IPv6-only stuff I see isn’t anything important; it was something I’d wanted to play around with and in fact did so on a couple of occasions. But doing a single tunnel connection to just my PC wasn’t what I considered “complex enough” to satisfy my need to learn something. I wanted to provide the tunnel connection to my entire LAN; full automatic configuration of every IPv6 capable device.
