This same silence you mention is also my personal experience.

I work on a open source firewall project in my spare time and found the
issue annoying, as such I've decided to forgot Sixxs (dynamic) tunnel
support and recommend the free Hurricane Electric tunnelbroker instead.

I can spend my time better in getting OpenVPN working with IPv6 then
waiting to accumulate kredits(tm).

Kind regards,
