I've had a tunnel from HE for a few years now. I've used it now and then.
I get how to do it, but what I'd like to know is how the tunnel broker's end is set up.
I get an address like 2001:470:abcd:1234::2/64 and the remote IPv4 address.
What does HE do? I'm guessing they make an analogous 2001:470:abcd:1234::1 gateway on a tunnel device and enable forwarding. but ..
there must be more, no?
I'm really curious how this would be done on a BSD or linux box.
This has never been answered

The thread does not provide the 'solution'
Of course, they use 6in4 tunnel.
Perhaps I don't have all of the routing magic in place.
I can set up arbitrary tunnels, and ping6 tunnel ends, for the most part.
It is the next hop that never happens :(
and HE has it "automated"
If I figure it out I'll post it.
Setting up a tunnel server can be accomplished on a variety of platforms.
As for the question of setting up an actual tunnel broker, ours is proprietary and written in-house, so obviously we aren't sharing that with anyone.
