Administrating servers over IPv6 without having to put a public IPv4 address on the server is pretty damn awesome.

If you only ever need to do system administration from one or two known locations that you can test in advance, this works.

But if you're travelling and need to connect now over a mobile data network or public wifi or any one of a myriad configurations that don't reliably support IPv6, then you might be disappointed.

Teredo should give you IPv6 almost anywhere.

I usually ssh first to a server that has ipv6 in that situation. Which is as roundabout as NAT of course.

Good news, although it saddens me a bit that this should _be_ news
