I disabled my Hurricane Electric IPv6 tunnel for now, because it was breaking Netflix and Tumblr. Netflix assumes that the existence of any tunnel means you’re trying to bypass regional content restrictions, and Tumblr because browsers prefer IPv6 when it’s offered, but the tunnel simply can’t handle the massively-parallel image-loading of a typical endlessly-scrolling cheesecake tumblr.

It was an interesting experiment that came in handy when I went to set up a test IPv6 config at work, and I can get native IPv6 at home now just by asking, but there’s really no point. I have a static /29, so until they pry it out of my cold, dead hands, there’s no benefit to me.
