Afraid the HE Tunnelbroker service attracts quite a bit of malicious traffic and is seen as a proxy provider to many sites. You'll likely find you'll see the same on Geekzone where Tunnelbroker may be fully blocked.

There are a few ways around this but likely one is to fire up a VM and use Tailscale to route V6 but really the best solution is to vote with your wallet and go with a provider that offers V6 as standard like Quic for example.

Hello, thank you for your advice, i removed the ipv6 tunnel from he.net, and now everything seems to be working fine, will go shopping for a new isp soon, my wife dosen't seem to mind , i'll just go shopping in the next few days but we also want to move our mobile service from spark, so i'm wondering who would be better , vodafone or 2 degrees , but i'll ask that on an other forum

thanks for everything

Have a look at https://quic.nz - I've found them pretty good but they're fully self managed. There is a thread on here with some people offering referral codes to drop the connection fee. Automation behind the scenes so you can be switched over in a few hours (list in the notes that you want VLAN 10 then the switch will happen with a short blip as your router will still work with the same user / pass that Spark use). One-off cost for a Static IP, IPv6 and all the fun stuff you expect. Not an advertisement, I just personally like them.

For mobile - it doesn't have to be bundled with your internet provider. I'm personally with both 2degrees and Spark for mobile. Just use what works best for you.

2degrees are CG-NAT by default with a monthly cost for a Static IP which likely won't work for you. One NZ has IPv6 but I don't think static at all.
