| IPV6 Tunnel configuration on OS X (Tiger 10.4.11)
After using the services of Sixxs & Freenet6 for the past year and half, I finally decided to give the Hurricane Electric tunnelbroker service a go, even though I'm on a dynamic IP (hasn't changed in over a year). The aiccu and hexago clients are stable, I simply wanted a cleaner solution.
Much to my surprise, I managed to get it working. I thought I'd share my experience.
If you sign up for an account with Hurricane Electric, they will provide a configuration example for NetBSD/OS X. The provided configuration worked for me ONLY after you remove the "-n" from the last entry in the Hurricane Electric config:
route -n add -inet6 default 2001:xxx:xxx:xxx::1
The machines on my internal LAN are configured with static IP addresses. This makes life easier. I'm running a d-link DIR655 Rev. A2 with 1.11 firmware. Internet connection is Comcast.
I had to configure the d-link to pass proto-41 to the IP of my machine on the LAN. Also had to set up an inbound filter rule for the remote IPV4 address of the tunnel. If you aren't pingable, you won't be able to configure the tunnel. Until you are pingable, HE won't even assign a tunnel..
Google IPV6, Kame and IPV6 irc servers are all accessible. IPV6 sites are showing my V6 address.
OS X users, feel free to email / PM me.
