BTW, he can also get IPv6 via 6in4 tunnel from he.net. According to wikipedia in Europe only in 8 countries. It doesn't say if Spain is included, but it seems odd - why would they limit it to specific countries??
I had not heard that. Here's what I found on Wikipedia:
"Hurricane Electric offers an IPv6 tunnel broker service,[3] providing free connectivity to the IPv6 Internet via 6-in-4 IPv6 transition mechanisms. The company also provides an IPv6 certification program to further education and compliance in IPv6 technology.[4][5] According to Hurricane Electric's statistics, as of January 19, 2015, the company provided 80,487 tunnels spanning 169 countries[6] via the IPv6 tunnel broker and 10,383 individuals have reached the highest level of the IPv6 certification." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Electric
However, their server list shows only 8 countries, but that doesn't mean they can't be used from elsewhere. https://www.tunnelbroker.net/status.php
Right. I think the authors of the wikipedia articles may have misunderstood: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_IPv6_tunnel_brokers https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_von_IPv6-Tunnelbrokern For Hurricane Electric: "Locations: Canada, Europe (9 Countries), Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, United States (11 States), South Africa" Seems a little silly to list 8 POPs when it doesn't matter much. I thought I also had my first tunnel with HE, but it was someone called Dolphins (now iWay) - in October 2006. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (4.0°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
