What is 6in4 tunnel?
Quote:
6in4 is an Internet transition mechanism for migrating from Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) to IPv6.
6in4 uses tunneling to encapsulate IPv6 traffic over explicitly-configured IPv4 links as defined in RFC 4213 (obsoletes RFC 2893 and RFC 1933).
In another words, if you only get IPv4 from your ISP, but you want to be able to reach IPv6 sites, 6in4 is one of your solutions.
It is simple and free with a just few of clicks in ddwrt GUI:)
1st) You need to create your account at Hurricane Electric Free IPv6 Tunnel Broker
After creating an account, return back to main page to create a tunnel
Choose your nearest location
Click on newly created account
Now, setup your ddwrt and enable radvd
note your MTU settings (see your Basic setup page too)
about MTU you can read here
you need to accept ping (icmp protocol) from HE server. So save it as your firewall rule.

ill favorite this & try it again soon i tried it before but gave up cause earlier builds had crap ipv6 in gui before it was updated & i dont know ipv6 whatsoever, what alien planet did ipv6 come from anyway..
this doesnt break regular ipv4 (ie: "dd-wrt.com") right>
my ISP used to provide DHCPv6. no settings whatsoever.
let me try this guide. i think wiki is a good idea. the ipv6 wiki more on CLI based at the moment. _________________ WZRHPG300NH - DDWRT v26854

No, it doesn't break IPv4. In the right corner (ddwrt GUI) you will see IPv4 and IPv6 adress. Router will tunnel only IPv6 requests to your broker... IPv4 requests will work as ussual. But IPv6 sites loads very, very fast...
About wiki... English is not my "mother language", so it is very hard for me to write in english... We spoke earlier about this. This kind of writing is not for wiki IMO. I will do tutorials for Guest VAP, Hotspot (I am using it at the moment) and QoS... Maybe we should put only links on wiki? I could give you my credentials if you are willing to do corrections (review, critique)...
@rkaede
see special thanks at the bottom of the post. There is a link on Broadcom part of forum... they use native ipv6, and 6in4 for some time...
Is this available across all models? I only ask because I just upgraded my Netgear WNDR3700v1 to 25648 after seeing this and I only have "Static DNS 1" "Static DNS 2" and "MTU" as an option after changing IPv6 type to 6in4 Static Tunnel. I tried different browsers and clearing cache with no luck.

Probably router DHCPv6 is not working...
Did you enabled radvd? try dhcp6s... This tutorial was from 25648... and there was some ipv6 changes on svn after that... Look at syslog too to see if radvd is working...
enabled dhcp6s it didnt do anything, enabled dhcp6c (whats the difference?) still didnt do anything. ipv6 is installed & enabled on the pc _________________ LATEST FIRMWARE(S)
