IPv6 Tunnelling

With the recent Boom with IPv6 popularity, I thought that I would help support those valiant DNS providers and ISP's who are now running Teredo Tunnelling. Teredo Tunnelling is a method of transmitting IPv6 data over IPv4, this means that you can officially (and proudly) say that you are IPv6 compatible (take a look at the bottom of this site). If you're adventurous, you might want to try 6to4 tunnelling (an alternative to Teredo).

If you are interested, please visit:;
http://www.tunnelbroker.net (run by Hurricane Electric, tested) or
http://www.xs26.net (untested, but reasonably popular)

If you are using http://www.tunnelbroker.net, please follow the instructions below:
  1. Create an account using the registration form
  2. Login to http://www.tunnelbroker.net using the username you entered earlier and the password provided
  3. Click on 'Create regular tunnel' in the 'User Functions' sidebar
  4. Enter your IPv4 static IP*, shown below the box
  5. Chose your nearest server (at the time of writing, London is full, I would recommend the use of Amsterdam).
  6. On the new page that opens after clicking 'Create Tunnel,' Select Example configuations and chose your OS (if you are using windows, enter the commands in 'Command Prompt': cmd.exe or if you are using Linux enter the commands in a terminal session).
  7. That's it, you're IPv6 ready!
* You can use a Dynamic IP (the settings can be found in the 'Advanced' tab of the configuration page)
