Unfortunately I don't have native IPv6 connectivity, and HE does not offer /56s on its tunnels, only /48s so I don't have much choice.

I've tried several times to switch to Rostelecom who is rumored to offer IPv6 connectivity, but as soon as I start talking with their salespeople they fall into stupor and promise to call later.
