Hurricane Electric Adds TNSR Software to its Tunnel Broker Service

Hurricane Electric has added TNSR® software to the list of supported operating systems on their tunnel broker service, making the process of setting up IPv6 tunnels fast and easy for TNSR software customers.

What is Hurricane Electric’s IPv6 Tunnel Broker?

IPv6 Tunnel Broker is a free service provided by Hurricane Electric that allows users to create IPv6 tunnels over existing IPv4 connections. This lets users and organizations access the IPv6 internet even if their Internet Service Provider (ISP) doesn't natively support IPv6. 

How to Use Netgate TNSR Software with Tunnel Broker

On tunnelbroker.net, customers can now select "Netgate TNSR'' from the list of supported operating systems.

It's a welcome development for those looking to leverage TNSR software’s high-performance routing capabilities alongside Hurricane Electric's global IPv6 network.
