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 <http://amazon.co.uk> etc. Interestingly, my isp doesn't provide ipv6 connectivity to customers, but I can ping6 them!

Yes, Amazon and Microsoft don't have AAAA records for their main web sites but they do support IPv6 for their cloudy stuff (AWS and Office 365).

Yes, the IPv6 addresses are a bit flaky but were working OK earlier this afternoon.

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? --scott On May 16, 2013 7:04 AM, "Keith Williams" &lt;keithwilliamsnp(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: > 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.
