Sounds like you already found what you really need: a VPN. > And: I fully support the Call-your-ISP initiative.

Or you could chose with your money and find an ISP that properly provides the service that you are paying for. It is 2016. IPv6 testing and transition has been going on for too long and too many companies that are receiving your money won't be budging as they get away with it as long as you keep on using third party services. One really has to wonder what kind of reliability people want when they use a 3rd party for connectivity, while giving another lots of money while they do not provide the service they actually want. >>> It is 2016.

Please read https://www.sixxs.net/news/ All SixXS users got an email about this. There is a reason why we ask to Call Your ISP. You did not call, did you?
