      Tho my ISP provides symmetric gigabit internet & static IP for only €15 so I'll ignore that

      This is really very affordable. Here we have to pay at least three times as much for a fiber and not less then € 30 for a simple old DSL copper cable.

        But the device gets IPv6 over OpenVPN tunnel. Wouldn't that mean it has the connectivity and with a prefix translation I could use IPv6? Like Teredo or HE.

        That's unfortunate. I'm just lucky because they only offer that only over their own infrastructure and it's not very wide. The carrier and the other 2 popular ISP's have way more expensive prices but still not as much as yours.

          Imho : don't invest any time in using Toredo. That's a dying concept.
          HE (tunnel broker) is something else. I've been using it for years, as they implement a clean and close to perfect, one of the best IPv6 implementations. Their services are not free ! That is, it won't cost you any money, and they even send you a free (yes) T-Shirt when you finish their IPv6 certification process. It's back to school-time-again, and do their multiple choice exam.
          They offer a /64 to start with, but don't bother, go for the whopping /48 right way 65535 prefixes.
          Your WAN will have a IPv6 GUA.
          Downsides :
          The POP needs to be close to you.
          The connection can be interpreted by the site you visit as some sort of VPN connection (there is a work around available if you use pfBlockerng).
          The POPs can be crowed, so the speed won't be stellar.

          No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
          Edit : and where are the logs ??
