Fair enough, but your previous suggestion "So use IPv6" then really means "Find an IPv6 provider", which, given the lack of otherwise appropriate ISP alternatives, either means "significantly compromise on cost or value", or implement some of third party tunnel service.

IPv6 The context of our discussion is seamless and collision-free host access across a VPN, not "internal-only stuff" - unless your directions below are going to work even when the ISPs on both ends don't provide IPv6? > autoconfiguration is generally handled at the router, which is still > generally not a debian documentation question.
