EGATE IPv6 DSL Connectivity

FreeBSD Example Coniguration

The following configuration was provided by a customer and is provided as guidance to those wishing to connect to our IPv6 service using FreeBSD. This configuration is meant as a guidance and you will need to customize it based on your configuration - specifically your physical interface setup. No support is provided for this operating system at this time.
