I like IPv6

I recently went through a vacation project to IPv6-enable all of my personal networks and devices. It was surprisingly easy; with Windows 7 you basically just flick a switch to get basic IPv6 connectivity through a Teredo tunnel. I'm fortunate in that my ISP provides native IPv6 connectivity, however. Underneath here is a button indicating your method of connectivity.

As part of my mini-project I found a great certification by Hurricane Electric, the largest IPv6 backbone provider on the Internet. I knew some of the basics already, but this was an enjoyable way to get everything up to scratch, and really helped deepen my knowledge.

As a result of completing various tasks for the certification process, the webserver you are currently visiting became IPv6-enabled. This was verified by the IPv6 Forum, who provided the badge below.
