Yes, it works. Thanks for testing. No, it is not free. Only the first fifty days are free after that it is EUR 5/year for 12 ports.

Yes, it has some limitations. But I think it will work for me.

Depending on a third party - free or paid - is never the optimum solution, but if one chooses IPv4 only, one has to rely on a third party like he.net for IPv6. IPv6 is the future, so in that case I prefer native IPv6 and IPv4 via a third party instead of the other way around.

 WV> If you have no choice, it is (very) usefull.

I expect many people will have no choice in the not too distant foreseeable future. Even you with your geek friendly ISP may have no choice some day.

 WV> But I don't think I would prefer it over a static IPv4 address right
 WV> now.

They offer a dedicated static IPv4 too. For a fee.


Cheers, Michiel
