Softether vpn can be used without static address with the vpn azure option. Can be used on any machine behind router or NAT without opening any inbound ports. If you have an openwrt based router, package is available. Doesn't even need a separate client, in built windows sstp client can connect using vpn azure. It's an extremely powerful and wonderful piece of software.

You don't need a static IP from TSBB to use a VPN. For e.g. you can subscribe to VPNs that can give a static IP. Far better than a nosey parker ISP's static IP. Only thing VPNs don't give out v6 but v4 addresses. Choose carefully and don't open up your network to IoT devices esp. video cameras that are known to fall prey to hackers.

I also have received static IPv6. How have you configured on your machine ?

@shankar29 Sorry to dig up an old thread. I am struggling to get ipv6 to work properly with pfsense. My computer has been assigned an ipv6 address but when I test it using test-ipv6 or something, it fails.

Can anyone help?
 
Did you route the IPv6 in LAN interface (im not on TSBB btw)?
Do a traceroute to ipv6.google.com . Make sure to cover your gateway ip partially.
 
Try posting ping/traceroute result as text instead of image
Here you go.

It seems to be working. DNS also seems to be working otherwise Ipv6 addresses won't resolve.

Might be windows preferring IPv4 over Ipv6? Not sure.

Does ipv6.google.com load on the browser? If so, Google for "my ip" on that page. Your public Ipv6 will show up.
 
Hi bro sorry for off topic but what state your from?

I was trying to get ipv6 for act in chennai but they said they disabled in their network. Also can i assign a public ipv6 to each virtual machine?

Yup.. All that happens. But with the Nokia G-140-W-f router all tests on test-ipv6.com used to pass. I got the router changed to a dumb bridge only GPON device and now I'm using Pfsense to negotiate the PPPoE connection and I get the following:
