Scroogy?, huh.... oh God, don't get me started on this a-holes, provides *guess* billions of IPs on the same network block are better than good around here, /48 would be --according to the-- for enterprise customers so I will try to have them assign a /48 because I also tried getting my *roaming* IPv6 /48 from LACNIC, my RIR but USD$1,200/yr for hobby is kinda dealbreaker

Yup, trust me, been there, done that, but that unfortunately is the only one that you can get to do bridge mode on the CPE for IPv4, we're way behind down here in South America (except Brazil) when it comes to v6, as I said I throw hate everytime I can to those grumpy old-men with their brains stuck on IPv4 and the /30 and v4 VLSM practices migrated to IPv6.

The otehr issue I do not want to rn n into is using Tunnelbroker, it's slow because of it's 6to4 tunnel nature, but it's an alternative, I do like HE, but being a VPN and its inherent drawbacks drives me away.


 MV> Cheers, Michiel

Right back at ya
