I set up a small network in which an OpenBSD machine serves as a
router for a collection of IPv6-only clients. Many thanks to previous
responders to my questions on tunneling with gif(4). This rudimentary
setup is working well: a client machine acquires an address via SLAAC
and can access the IPv6

IIRC from my experimentation, you've got it exactly right.
Some tunnel brokers give you subnet masks that certain versions of OpenBSD
don't like - that turns out to not actually matter, just use whatever

So much for *my* anonymity... ;-)
Basically, yes. Although you have a router (does things with IP packets),
not a bridge (does things with Ethernet frames) -

No, *::2 is local.
Ah, yes. Despite my best efforts at copyediting, I had the meanings of *::1 and

Hi,
I'm experimenting with using IPv6 via a tunnel broker provided by an
ISP. The tunnel works, but I want to confirm my understanding of the
commands they gave me to set it up. These are the commands:
ifconfig gif0 tunnel 50.1.94.112 72.52.104.74
ifconfig gif0 inet6 alias 2001:470:1f04:204::2
The need for multiple versions of an application on one machine
doesn't manifest that often. Asking the system to tie itself into
knots for this purpose is likely to result in bloat, convolution and
less reliability.
Some contexts support and indeed encourage the notion of many
versions. For

Hi,
I'm looking to create or cobble together functionality that automates
network connections as a user roams around with a laptop. The idea is
to respond to changing network availability: wifi network is known, so
connect, or cable was plugged in, or connect for the first time and
remember,
