Please clarify, should I have my own registered domain? Does it matter where I register domain?

Your tunnel must respond to pings, and if it is silent for 90 days, it is deleted.  I don't remember whether the pings are via IPv4 or IPv6, but it is considered "best practice" to allow both.  For IPv6, the tunnel endpoint is used, not the routed /64 or /48.  I do not recall whether changing the IPv4 tunnel endpoint also resets the timeout period.

Hi,

I've been a user of the service for a year or two now and noticed that my tunnel had recently been deleted (within the past 2 weeks or so).

Could it be because I'd not updated my IP there for some time? I have a script running on my Mikrotik which will auto update the tunnel when my public ipv4 changes, but it hasn't for some time.

What is the official policy on inactivity & deletion?

Thanks

YES. So tell me **how**. Please. Redefining doesn't help, mate.

Doing protocol 41 in IPv6 yields IPv6 encapsulated in IPv6.  That is not what you want.  You want IPv6 encapsulated in IPv4.

Nope. Setting the protocol number to 41 automatically snaps protocol type to IPv6. There's not even a choice to set a protocol type to IPv4

what do you mean by 41 for IPv4? There isn't a selection for which whether I accept 41 on IPv4 or IPv6. Just a "Protocol 41".
Can you tell me where I can allow protocol 41 on IPv4? redefining doesn't help...

Set protocol type to IPv4.
Set protocol number to 41.
There are no ports for the protocol.
Allow that.

IPv6 on Windows / Re: unreachable from outside
Last post by cnsh - March 19, 2026, 04:30:41 AM
Brief sum up of my issue:
- IPv6 port stays closed and blocked while the same port number on v4 is opened.
- It is NOT A ROUTER ISSUE. TURNING OFF THE PC'S FIREWALL OPENS THE V6 PORT.
- It is not protocol 41 rule issue. I have already allowed protocol 41 on my firewall, with edge traversal allowed.

Someone please give me a solution, this thing has been bugging me for weeks

minor update. I tried to run a port scan to my server, and accidently scanned port 53, the DNS port. It was open. But the server's other IPv6 port was closed while the IPv4 one open.
