[UPDATE June 2016]: Netflix have blocked all HE IPv6 tunnels. Deploying IPv6 via HE’s tunnel mechanism will actually now break even the most legitimate of configurations from any country.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There’s been a lot of talk (and action) as of late as Netflix starts crumbling under the irrational demands of the content owners. It seems it’s no longer acceptable to view content from behind the IP of a node that’s known to obscure the true location of the endpoint (i.e. a VPN or proxy).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Well, there’s another way around it, and I’ve been doing it since Netflix launched in Australia last March. I’ve been using an IPv6 broker tunnel – which enables my network to view all of the world’s content on offer over IPv6. It just so happens that the IPv6 implementation is so solid, that it works on a PC that isn’t even running IPv4.<\/p>\n

Most ISPs outside of the USA don’t offer native IPv6. It’s slowly improving, but nowhere near there yet<\/a>. That’s why some internet backbone providers such as Hurricane Electric<\/a> have free IPv6 tunnel servers to help people adopt to the new standard.<\/p>\n

Here’s why an IPv6 solution works better than a VPN:<\/p>\n
