I’m also on FiOS, and despite repeated statements to the effect I’d never get IPv6 on my (20 year) old ONT, I’ve got a nice little /56 block assigned on my kit via DHCPv6. Problem is that, as it’s a DHCP block, it changes, and Namecheap presently does not offer any sort of Dynamic DNS for IPv6 addresses.

Still, it let me tear down the HE IPv6 tunnel I was also running, since the sole reason I needed IPv6 was so our household game consoles could all play online without cursed firewall rules and IP reservations. I’m pretty chuffed with the present status quo, even if it’s far from perfect.

One other thing I’d note about OPs article (for folks considering it as a way to work around shitty ISP policies) is that once you have this up and running, you also have a perfect setup for a reverse proxy deployment for your public services. Just make sure you’re watching your bandwidth so you don’t get a surprise bill.
