    openvpn -- doesn't allow IPv6 while in --mode server (Bug#487769);
	as a work-around, I currently establish a tunnel with RFC 1918
	IPv4 addresses, running a 6in4 tunnel over it, like:

--cut: /etc/network/interfaces --
iface xxx-ipv6 inet6 v4tunnel
    address  [...]::1
    netmask  [...]
    local    192.168.123.45
    endpoint 192.168.123.1
--cut: /etc/network/interfaces --

    slirp -- as per slirp(1), it doesn't seem to support IPv6;

    uucp -- doesn't allow IPv6 directly, but allows an arbitrary command
	to be run to establish a connection (just like ProxyCommand for
	ssh(1), or --plugin for fetchmail(1).)
