Setting up IPv6 in Windows

Written by Simone

Found this post quite useful to set up Hurricane Electric's IPv6 on a Windows machine and serve the connection over LAN (Windows machine must stay on, obviously)

Legend of variables:
$ipv4a   = tunnel server's IPv4 IP
$ipv4b   = user's IPv4 IP
$ipv6a   = tunnel server's side of point-to-point /64 allocation
$ipv6b   = user's side of point-to-point /64 allocation
$ipv6c   = first address of user's routed /64 allocation
$ipv6d   = user's routed /64 allocation
$adapter = name of local area network connection (where your IPv4 address is configured now)

netsh int teredo set state disabled
netsh int ipv6 add v6v4tunnel IP6Tunnel $ipv4b $ipv4a
netsh int ipv6 add address IP6Tunnel $ipv6b

netsh int ipv6 set interface IP6Tunnel forwarding=enabled
netsh int ipv6 set interface "$adapter" forwarding=enabled advertise=enabled
netsh int ipv6 add address "$adapter" $ipv6c
netsh int ipv6 set route $ipv6d "$adapter" publish=yes
netsh int ipv6 add route ::/0 IP6Tunnel $ipv6c publish=yes

MTPuTTY (Multi-Tabbed PuTTY)

Written by Simone

Nice little piece of software; free but not open source.

Use your saved PuTTY configs in a multi tabbed window! It's just easy like that, no fuss, no complicated setup but with added options, like saving your sessions when quitting the program, so that they'll run again at next startup; auto reconnection on connection loss, with a timer, a few themes for both light and dark setups and possibility to run scripts in any or all of your SSH sessions.

If I'd have to be picky, there's one thing which doesn't work: flashing window on bell, but maybe that's expected since it's just the main window with different tabs.. Well, I think it could be improved anyway.
