If anyone wants to try / use IPv6, but their ISP does not provide it, Hurricane Electric (HE) has offered a tunnel service for many years now:

* https://tunnelbroker.net

* https://ipv6.he.net

There are scrips available to bring up a tun device on your system (or router) and route traffic over it:

Hurricane Electric is great, but as more and more people have ISP provided IPv6, 'normal' users leave the tunnels, and network services have been flagging he.net tunnels as abuse.

I had to stop using ipv6 for most of my network because too many sites decide to put up barriers or simply refuse to work.
