Tunnel behind NAT

Hello friends. I've been trying in recent days all existing tunnelbrokers. The SixXS works behind NAT? The operation of my internet is: Packet => My ISP (187.4.44.62) => My radio antenna (Power Over Ethernet - 192.168.100.1) => My PC (192.168.100.2)

Yes. You can use a SixXS tunnel over multiple layers of NAT if you use the aiccu client with the tunnel type AYIYA (Anything in Anything). AYIYA uses UDP packets to communicate with the PoP. On a personal note, I have used AYIYA behind a carrier grade NAT setup when I tether with my cellphone.

Could not have said it much better, except for pointing to the FAQ: IPv6 Transition Mechanism / Tunneling Comparison which also shows what does and what does not work behind a NAT and allows one to pick the best method given the constraints one is working in.

Thanks very much. r me being able to customize my IP (eg: 2001:0DB8:CAFE:DAD0:FACA:CA5A:F0CA:DEAD), I'll have to wait to get ISK for a subnet?

You might first want to read the FAQ: What are your thoughts on DNS Pollution? Spelling cool names with IPv6 addresses is not proper use of IPv6. IP addresses are meant for addressing hosts.

Thanks buddy, but even so I think the ability to customize IPs is a positive differential of IPv6 :)

I guess you missed the last section stating "Our policy is immediate and irrevocable deletion of the user account and all resources linked to it,"... As such, don't upset the dogs.

I do not want to be rude, but I think these policies are not legal. I believe if the address is mine, I can customize the way I want. But if this is "spam", I can use tunnel elsewhere. Hug!

How exactly is what not 'legal'? Please elaborate, we are very interested in hearing more about this.

I believe if the address is mine

The address is not "yours" in any way. Actually it is not even SixXS's, we also only have these on loan from the ISP who provides them and they in turn got it from a RIR who got it from IANA. There is no such thing as 'address ownership' as you can't buy them (not in the RIR model at least). The ISP can put rules on usage of the address space though to which the user has to abide.
