6tunnel

=======

6tunnel allows you to use services provided by IPv6 hosts with

IPv4-only applications and vice-versa. It can bind to any of your IPv4

(default) or IPv6 addresses and forward all data to IPv4 or IPv6

(default) host. For example

```

6tunnel -1 6668 irc6.net 6667

```

will be enough to connect to IPv6 irc server with

```

irc foobar localhost:6668

```

If you don't wish to run 6tunnel every time you want to show your

`:c001:` or `:dead:` IPv6 address on IRC, you can use `-i` parameter, which

makes 6tunnel ask your client for specified password. Just run

```

6tunnel -i dupa.8 31337 irc6.net 6667

```

and then type

```

irc foobar localhost:31337:dupa.8

```

If your IRC server requires you to send password, specify it with `-I`

parameter -- after successful proxy authentication 6tunnel will send it

to the server.

6tunnel can also be used as a tunnel for all other combinations of IPv4

and IPv6 endpoints. If remote host doesn't have any IPv6 addresses,

6tunnel will use the IPv4 one. In other cases, use -4 parameter which

makes IPv4 address the preffered one. For IPv6-to-any tunnels use -6

which makes 6tunnel bind to IPv6 address.
