I can't find it either. Considering that my memory is notoriously unreliable, I will happily give you the benefit of the doubt when your memory says, you beat me by a couple of days.

 BF>    I just hate it when I have to give up...  8-)

I have learned to live with it a couple of decades ago...

Other than that...

Here we have a saying: "onderzoek alles en behoud het goede". Explore everything and keep the good things.

You don't have native IPv6. You have IPv6 via a 6in4 tunnel. So you have de facto Dual Stack capability. But that is not the only way that leads to Rome. Accepting DS-Lite or even an IPv6 only connecting from your ISP and using a 4in6 tunnel to have the best of both worlds is another way.

IIRC Tony Langdon is using 4in6 tunnels. When IPv6 becomes the dominanty protocl - and we may live to see that - using a 4in6 tunnel may be better than the other way around.

Plus that there is also feste-ip.net for those that only need a few ports incomng.


Cheers, Michiel
