If I needed to, I could probably argue for us to change to a provider that does IPv6. But that's complicated for a number of reasons. And I don't really need IPv6. I just want to. To test some things. And in any case, I'm stuck with BT for the moment. Still, it's pretty bad that BT doesn't offer this. On its business lines. > So there are tunnel brokers - HE: http://tunnelbroker.net/ and SixXs: > https://www.sixxs.net/main/ and others. Thanks - to Anthony as well! These are useful. Most of them seem to be tailored to enabling IPv6 on one machine, but I'm sure I can find something about enabling it for the whole subnet at once. Also, at least tunnelbroker.net seems to block port 25 by default. I want to test email, so I'd have to ask them to open that.

I could just forward a subnet of the /64 they've given me though the tunnel. Yay! Good idea. > Just remember - NAT won't save you from hackers - you need to use a firewall > now... Yep. With IPv6 all our devices are naked. Martijn. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
