Oh okay, IMO IPv6 tunnels are worse than just disabling it, because it's basically just a proxy with IPv6, and since there's no encryption (at this layer) both your ISP and now the tunnel could collect your data, as well as added latency.

But I guess it's okay for experimentation or if you actually require IPv6 for something.

Hard disagree there. It is a tunnel, it is plenty fast if the intermediate node is close enough, and why would you want encryption at the IP layer.

It works great and gives me IPv6 that I otherwise wouldn't have with my ISP (Optimum), allowing me to connect to native IPv6 site and use all the IPv6 functionality I want (dedicated IPs for containers/VMs etc).

Yeah those are some good points, I guess I'm just spoilt with native IPv6.
