HE is a large carrier so they can deal with more issues than a small VPS provider
Hurricane Electric AS6939 is one of the largest IPv6 transit networks.
They are almost a Tier 1 network for IPv6 except they don't peer with Cogent.
Uninterrupted downloads and uploads all day long isn't a problem for them, because this is what transit networks are designed for.
If you download from a customer of AS6939, Hurricane Electric receives payment from that customer.
On the IPv4 side where your tunnels run, AS6939 purchases transit from Telia/AS1299 to reach NTT/AS2914, Cogent/AS174, and Tata/AS6453.
When you tunnel from these networks, Hurricane Electric would pay for your downloads.
In 2020, Oracle Cloud Tokyo lacked IPv6 and was single-home NTT.
It had >150ms latency to every TunnelBroker location including Tokyo and Singapore.
Such high latency and low speeds force users to give up eventually.
When you are big enough, you can pushup others.
As far as I know, HE is IPv6 Tier-1 and don't need to pay more than the hardware cost to use its network, but if you need to use other upstream or get a better experience, it's probably better to use the IPv6 provided by your ISP?
Regarding spam port 25 is blocked for all but the oldest members.
There's also some networks that are blocked. Last I checked, Cloudflare were blocked for their free tunnels, at least for inbound connections. https://forums.he.net/index.php?topic=3805.0
I verified in both regions that Cloudflare is not currently blocking HE IPv6.
You cannot point AAAA record with orange cloud to TunnelBroker IP.
That's blocked on Hurricane Electric side for unexpained reason.
Whether you have free or paid Cloudflare site is irrelevant.
Running
cloudflaredon the origin server, making an outbound connection to Cloudflare infrastructure, could still work.At least I haven't heard that's blocked.
P.S.
cloudflaredis also useful for hosting a website behind CGNAT or dynamic IP.Accessing Cloudflare hosted sites as a client definitely works.
I used the CFP panel to add the AAAA records and it worked fine.
You can also try:
https://cdn.wzfou.com/
You can add AAAA records, but the website will not work as soon as you turn on orange cloud because traffic is blocked by Hurricane Electric.
This is phishing website stealing Cloudflare API keys.
