20071024 ipv6
From usenix.org.uk
Interesting evening tonight as I have stumbled upon an ipv6 -> ipv4 tunnel. It seems to be working quite well. I’ve got a route set up for the tunnel, really simple in linux and the provider (Hurricane Electric) provided the config in a copy/paste script :-)
If you’re interested, then create an account on their site tunnelbroker.net.
A useful little program called 6tunnel will bind a local host/port to a ipv6 host/port. So things like irssi can be run using a command like:
6tunnel 65000 ipv6.chat.freenode.net 6667
and then /server localhost 65000 within irssi command window will give you a connection to freenode with ipv6 source. Excellent stuff!
