Trouble connecting to freenet6 with OpenBSD

[Christian Edward Gruber]

I just had this same problem yesterday, and fixed it by making:

cat > /etc/hostname.gif0
up giftunnel <src> <dest>
up inet6 <src-ipv6> <dest-ipv6>
EOF

Then adding route add blah blah to rc.local

Don't forget to set /etc/sysctl.conf to have:
net.inet6.ip6.forward=1

It didn't work until I rebooted (artifacts from futzing around) but now it works and I can traceroute6 stuff.

NOW my problem is DNS. ;)

regards,
Christian.
