Happy to share. I am in the process of writing it up, but the journey had
many false turns and dead ends! I am therefore having to dig through the
notes and edit them. Basically I used openvpn. This gave me a tunnel with
fixed ip4 addresses at each end. That is the key point because at the home
end I have a variable IP from my ISP. The ipv6 is then tunnelled through
there through sit1 (created along with the tunnel) Then came the fun and
games playing with the routing - which I didn't understand at all before
starting on the project. I am still "refining" the next step, using that
box as the gateway for my small home network, I have it "sort of" working,
but there's a lot of tweaking to do. The annoying thing about the HOWTOs
that you find on the net is that they never seem to work quite right on my
computer!

Mind sharing your tunneling recipe? I had a tunnel set
up using an aiccu
client to sixxs.net for a while, but it was very unreliable. At the time
I don't think there was a public aiccu server component available (and this
was before bitfolk had IPv6 connectivity). Perhaps tunneling is easier now?
