Ok, so my memory once again failed me. ;-)

When IPv6 becomes the dominant protocol 4in6 tunnels may become popular for those still needing incoming IPv4. Until "everyone has IPv6 of course. Then we can switch off IPv4. ;-)

Very unusual. Few hobbyists have more than one IPv4 address these days. Having moe than one is unusual by itself. Having them via a VPN is even more unusual. You may be the only one in Fidonet.
