ipv6 tunnels for fun and profit

So I got an entire /48 of the IPv6 address space all to myself. This is about 1.20892581961463*10^24 addresses. Just for the reference there are 281,474,976,710,656 subnets this big in the IPv6 address space. That is more subnets than IPv4 has addresses!

With this I gave every computer in my apt an IPv6 address although I'm having some strange troubles with some of the hardware not supporting IPv6. To get my laptop an IPv6 address whever it goes I run a 6in4 tunnel over my VPN. If only OpenVPN would directly support IPv6. Its kind of cool though I can directly SSH into my laptop from any other IPv6 host online, no more NAT!

There also isn't any form of firewall cause I haven't set up ip6tables yet, so I'm not sharing the subnet info just yet.
