It has finally arrived, the World IPv6 Day!

So you don't have native IPv6 network access? No problem, just use a Teredo Tunnel to get connected.
Here's a very short primer on doing so on FreeBSD.

Firstly install the miredo package from the ports tree.



[root@GPWS ~]# cd /usr/ports/net/miredo/

[root@GPWS /usr/ports/net/miredo]# make clean install

Alternatively, install the binary package:



[root@GPWS ~]# pkg_add -r miredo

Enable miredo in your rc.conf:



[root@GPWS ~]# echo miredo_enable=YES >> /etc/rc.conf

Make sure to have a proper /usr/local/etc/miredo.conf.
Here's my very minimalistic config:



#! /usr/local/sbin/miredo -f -c

#

RelayType client

InterfaceName   teredo

#BindPort            3545

#BindAddress     192.168.2.1

ServerAddress teredo.ipv6.microsoft.com

Note: Depending on your setup, e.g. with multiple interfaces, you may need to specify a BindAddress to use the proper network interface.
So to speak, you may need to specify also a specific port for some NAT setups.

Now fire up miredo:



[root@GPWS ~]# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/miredo start

You should end up with a new network interface by the name of 'teredo':



[root@GPWS ~]# ifconfig teredo

teredo: flags=43 metric 0 mtu 1500

        options=80000

        inet6 fe80::ffff:ffff:ffff%teredo prefixlen 64 scopeid 0xb 

        inet6 2001:0:5ef5:79fb:4e9:5e1b:2ba5:360b prefixlen 128 

        nd6 options=3

        Opened by PID 93528

You should now be able to ping6 any IPv6-enabled host on the internet.



[root@GPWS ~]# ping6 www.google.ch
