You don't need a week. You don't even need a day. You can probably |
| 6 |
have a test tunnel working (on your computer) in less than an hour. |
| 7 |
Then maybe a few more hours to get it to work on your existing equipment |
| 8 |
(router) robustly and automatically on reboot. |

I encourage you to spend that initial hour. I think you will find that |
| 11 |
will be time well spent. |

Hurricane Electric does have something else that will take more time, |
| 14 |
maybe a few minutes a day over a month or so. Their IPv6 training |
| 15 |
program (I last looked a number of years ago) is a good introduction to |
| 16 |
IPv6 in general. Once you complete it, they'll even send you a shirt as |
| 17 |
a nice perk. |

Note: H.E. IPv6 training is independent and not required for their |
| 20 |
IPv6-in-IPv4 tunnel service. |

Nope. Not really. |

You do need a predictable IPv4 address. I'm using a H.E. tunnel on a |
| 27 |
sticky IP (DHCP with long lease and renewals) perfectly fine. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
If your IP does change, you just need to update the tunnel or create a |
| 30 |
new one to replace the old one. This is all manged through their web |
| 31 |
interface. |
