Hello Andre,

On Tuesday November 01 2011 23:03, you wrote to me:

Oh, it does. And I have not turned away from them, my AYIYA tunnel is still gathering ISK's. But right now, my preferred tunnel is the one with HE. It seems a bit more reliable and faster.

But.. I realise very well that it wil not be forever. As you say, SixXs is a hobby mostly done by one person. As ever so often with these things, if that one person drops out or finds greener pastures, someone else takes over or the project collapses. OTOH, HE is a commercial organisation that offers free tunnels as an appetizer. That will probably not last forever either.

 AG>>> Just get native IPv6 ... running native IPv6 since 2003 here.

 MvdV>> You are lucky.

My guess is that your native IPv6 connection is not just a hobby either...


Cheers, Michiel
