another tilt at the Verizon FIOS IPv6 windmill

Sun Jul 12 21:35:35 UTC 2015

The only reason I have FIOS is because they gave me a 2 year deal of
15/15 internet for $30/month. Their advertising is basically just lies
and I wouldn't hold my breath over IPv6; I have to run stunnel so I can
send email from home because they don't even use TLS..... Having said
that, I have an HE tunnel which works flawlessly with my Asus RT-N66U
router....
