This was the highlight, I had waited since around November this big day,
it was, fantastic. Looking at the reports I'd say it's been a big
success. Plus.net who in the past didn't seem that eager to get involved
were making some big efforts to get people connected.
"dig plus.net aaaa +short" is not returning anything :-(
Anyway, I didn't realize that my VPS has a public IPv6 address! I added
it to the DNS record for the domain name (remoteguru.com) and now it works
fine :-) I had to install netcat-openbsd to run netcat on IPv6 to test
it.
I have a hosting account with Dreamhost who also recently announced
support for IPv6. So I could run both netcat and ping6 from their
Debian boxes to test my BitFolk VPS. It was fun :-) The output
of mtr looked a bit weird though:
$ mtr -6 --report remoteguru.com
