So, it's time to make the IPv4-IPv6 gateway, to walk in "another Internet", to whom he will soon.

GO and register at http://go6.net/4105/register.asp

The kernel supports IPv6, ie it built with options INET6 (GENERIC kernel already supports this protocol)

So, install the client what they offer to download

Port: gateway6-5.0_2
Path: /usr/ports/net/gateway6
Info: Gateway6 Tunnel Setup Protocol Client - Free IPv6 tunnel
B-deps:
R-deps:
WWW: http://www.go6.net/

Install:

cd /usr/ports/net/gateway6
make install clean

Edit the configuration file /usr/local/etc/gw6c.conf

userid =
passwd =

There write your username and password are entered when registering on the site.

At this initial setup is completed, for further customization read the documentation.

server = broker.freenet6.net

broker.freenet6.net - is the server name to connect to (written in the letter at registration)

# Enable authentication
auth_method = any

# Write logs to syslogd
log_syslog = 3

Now we have to run it

echo 'gateway6_enable = "YES"'>> /etc/ rc.conf
/Usr/local/etc/rc.d/gateway6 start

And look

# tail -f /var/log/messages
