This week, I bought an IPv6 home router,
model D-LINK DIR-655 with the latest firmware.
This one supports Prefix Delegation, SLACC, DHCPv6, IPv6 PPPoE,
6in4, 6to4 and 6rd tunneling. I have 6in4 tunnel with Hurricane Electric (HE) and
I can say that configure 6in4 tunnel on DIR-665 is not easy. The routed /64 prefix allocated by HE should
be configured in the LAN side while the /64 prefix for tunneling should be
input in the WAN side. The v6 resolver
provision was a bit complicated. I
thought using v6 resolvers of OpenDNS would be ok but in fact it was not. I was
not quite sure if HE network blocked access to OpenDNS. As a last resort, I used the anycast v6
resolvers of HE in both the WAN and LAN side and that completely my 6in4
configuration with success.
I use static v6 configuration for hosts in
the LAN side though I know DHCPv6 will be more convenient. Hey, think it other way, the routed .64
prefix offered to me will never change, there is no harm to use static v6
configuration.
