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?

I have just spent the last few days investigating tunneling ipv6 from my vps to my wheezy box at home and so giving my home mini-network ipv6 access. On the way I have learnt a lot about routing etc. It is now working nicely, but what has amazed me is how small the ipv6 take up seems to be.
Once I had established that I could ping6 fairly local addresses, I tried pinging further afield and when some of those failed, I tried dig aaaa on them and found that there were no aaaa records. We are talking big names here - amazon.co.uk etc. Interestingly, my isp doesn't provide ipv6 connectivity to customers, but I can ping6 them!
