Like it. More people should do this

Of the 12 wireline ISPs here, 2 support IPv6. One of the two is available to 2% of the customers; the other costs 50% more than IPv4-only. For the extra money you get 5% of the upload + much higher latency. I'm looking into starting my own ASN just to get IPv6 here.
In the US there are millions of locations stuck with IPv4 only networks due to ISPs that are solidly committed to never supporting it.
IPv6 evangelists don't give a meaningful crap about those millions - and are happy to push IPv6 rosiness in a way that denies their existence.
Because of this, IPv6-only services can only ever get so far off the ground. An exciting service is less exciting when it's unreachable from point B.
It's really not a big deal.
This is a big deal, for just getting access to ipv6.
The latter is much more comprehensive and identifiable.
This isn't to throw shade at HE; I don't recall any complaints about their integrity. It's just to say HE's tunnel is in a practical position to monitor, should they choose or be compelled.
You'll see that the IPs on the pathway are owned by companies that are neither you nor the guy you're accessing. Yes, but you shouldn't add another one you didn't know (e.g. free vpn).
I guess maybe I should expect this sort of militant behaviour from the sort of ppl who run a chunk of the internet backbone?
EDIT: realized x@googlemail.com should work[1]
With my own ASN, I have a shot at peering with my ISPs IX.
