Unless you're trying to reach sites that are IPv6-only and have no
way to be reached via IPv4, I'd consider disabling teredo and
miredo. You're intentionally prefering complex setups that can take
your packets through further routes, and through locations you have
nobody to complain to when they break.

Is that true? Do teredo/miredo make connections more complicated for
IPv4 addresses?
If your only IPv6 connection is via Teredo, and if the site you are
trying to reach supports both IPv4 and IPv6, and if your software
prefers IPv6 over IPv4 then yes, it will send the connection via Teredo
rather than directly by IPv4.
If the site is IPv4 only then no, it won't be more complicated. If the
site is IPv6 only then it is via Teredo or nothing.
