2 edits | Open source IPv6 tunnel client, Gateway6, from go6.net
I've been playing with the Gateway6 client, gw6c, from go6.net under Mac OS X (look for my post on the go6.net Mac OS X forum). It seems to work pretty well for my purposes. Took a little bit to get it configured correctly. Anyone else try it out?
The software works on several *BSD, Linux, Windows and Mac OS X. |

| I've been looking at using one of these clients on my laptops for when I travel. At home I currently have an IPv6 tunnel over IPv4 to HE. Works pretty well, hoping our ISP's start offering some IPv6 dual stack support for those interested.

What exactly does it do just give you a IPv6 IP? |

| With an account, Go6/Freenet6's tunnel client (gw6c) gets you an IPv6 tunnel address (/128, 1 host address) and a IPv6 prefix of your own (/48, 2^80 addresses). I haven't tried their anonymous access yet.
In my case, using Go6/Freenet6 gets me a relatively low latency (36-40ms) tunnel to the IPv6 Internet. That's in comparison to my access to the 6to4 anycast address (192.88.99.1) which AT+T is routing to Switzerland (120ms).
