I'm using immunicity with Firefox on a Sky connection.

So am I on an Enta connection and all OK here.

Whoa!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is very odd.

At 1:30 this morning, just before my OP, the two IPv6 tests both reported Toredop tunnelling in use, as you suggest. The non-tbb one also said that Toredo tunnelling should only be used as a last resort.

Both told me my IPv6 address.

Right now, neither tester is doing either of those things. tbb adds that my ISP DNS server appears to have IPv6 access, the other tester says it doesn't. Pasting the IPv6 address from my OP still gets me the the picture with that addess remaining in the URL bar. Not a redirection.

crazy crazy

Teredo is a "best effort" service and can be unreliable. You might find it comes back to life after a PC reboot, or maybe not!

Ah thanks smile. I'll try again in the wee small hours, just to see.

So you think it's my kit, not PlusNet experimenting behind the scenes?

Yep, just looks like Teredo in Windows doing its thing.

I use gogo, which I had not used for a few months, just tried it and is working still. 10/10 both scores on the tbb test but some warnings with my browser blocking ipv6.

I can choose my node and I am always using amsterdam.

I use this service for my ipv6 work (as I have been responsible for making 100s of sites dual stack) and even often ssh to servers using it as the latency is so good.

'Scuse my ignorance but not into IPv6 yet. What with these Toredop & immunicity?

Do you need browser plug-ins to overcome lack of IPv6 capability with your ISP's DNS?

How do you get an IPv6 addy? Does PN allocate you one?

No, Teredo is built into Windows and works with all clients.

No, Teredo assigns one automatically.

I did wonder where my IPv6 address came from smile. I didn't think at 1:30 to check both testers gave the same but meant to next time.

[cough] Isn't that a good way of becoming untraceable?

Edit - just found all the details in ipconfig /all, including what might be an identifier that gets stored externally by the Teredo side of things.
