Due to my brain dead ISP which does not support IPv6 for clients in 2K25(!) I cant access my boxyBSD box.
boxyBSD is thus so far away from me :(
I have a client connection with fixed IPv4 IP somewhere, but it collapses when I use a free available IPv4 to IPv6 tunnel service.
Instead of sitting and twiddling my fingers on my Bass guitar(s) generating random() notes, I decided to get an image of the latest freeBSD and play with it locally, until I can get my ISP to provide all of us with a (set) of free IPv6 addresses because we pay them for a full service here in my country
