1. Good morning, Mr. John.
   I’m from Brazil and I am beginner in IPv6 research.
   Could help me with a more detailed tutorial on installation and gogo6 software configuration in Windows 10 system?
   Thank you very much in advance.

2. Hi,
   The link to the gogo6.com isn’t working anymore.
   Is this solution available from another site?
   Thanks

   1. Thank you for asking. I now use the service from Hurricane Electric. The set-up isn’t so easy but here’s a script I use in Powershell to connect a Windows machine. One disadvantage is that the HE service can only deal with one account per IPv4 endpoint, unlike gogo6 which allowed a login procedure to permit multiple accounts (and, thereby, IPv6 addresses) to be tunneled into the one IPv4 endpoint.

      This is my script. It complains most of the time and I haven’t the time to re-write it, but it DOES connect. Adjust variables as you wish.
