      So, IPv6 wasn't even a twinkle in anyone's eye when I was studying networking back in the dark ages…  :D

      Can anyone recommend a concise "for dummies"-style site, book, video, whatever that assumes the reader is familiar with networking in general but could use a primer on IPv6? Life's too short these days for reading RFCs these days!  I'm also looking for something more than the sticky tutorial here. :o ;D

        There is a bit of a crash course in IPv6 in the pfSense book for 2.1 which you can download if you have a Gold Subscription.

              Then get yourself a free tunnelbroker account at HE.net or equivalent and start using it!
