Address exhaustion is finally about to make us all take IPv6 seriously.

I know the theory; heck, I've even taught the theory in networking courses. What I would like to find - and haven't - is a source of practical information for introducing IPv6 into a network. How should the firewall be set up? What does Apache need, to make a website IPv6 accessible? What about HTTPS? SSH? DNS? What are the security gotchas? Hands-on, practical stuff.

I've looked around for online courses - I've even completed one. Unfortunately, the information was pathetic; I'm not sure I actually learned anything useful. There must be good sources out there. Any Soylentils have recommendations?

    I used HE for a static tunnel on a machine with a static ipv6 addrs

    Err the deal is HE offered very low threshold of effort to set up static ipv6 tunnels only if you had a static ipv4 addrs, so I had a HE tunnel on a server and sixxs was an unholy PITA to set up but works perfectly for dynamic ipv4 endpoint addrs so I had that at home on my screaming new 608K DSL line back in the very early 00s.

    I have no idea in 2015 if that is the ideal design, but back in the old days thats how it was.

    Over the last decade occasionally there have been routing spats or instability or other VERY short term issues between HE and sixxs so occasionally I'd have ssh/fetchmail issues accessing that server from home, have to force ipv4 temporarily or just deal with it.

    I would not be surprised if sixxs were less of a PITA or HE now has a dynamic endpoint ipv6 tunnel, or there are alternative providers. Some may be lucky enough to have an ISP that actually offers native ipv6 connectivity, so no tunnel providers needed!
