Thursday, February 2nd - AICCU Multiple-Tunnel Adapter update

A new small update to AICCU was released so that it better handles situations where multiple tunnel adapters are available while only one is needed for AICCU.

This fix also adds a 'press key to close window' add so that one can actually see what is in the console window output before it disappears when it closes.

One can download it from the AICCU page.

Wednesday, January 18th - SixXS goes on Strike

SixXS has been following several legislation lobbys in the United States which aim to make online piracy easier to fight legally. While we're in no way endorsing copyright violation and theft of intellectual property (or any other property for that matter), we're genuinely concerned about the big-hammer approach of the SOPA and PIPA bills that are being discussed in Jan/Feb 2012 in the US Senate and House.

Several cornerstone websites have made it clear that they, too, do not support these bills. Websites much larger than ours (wikipedia.org, google.com, craigslist.org, to name but a few) have turned off their service in protest on January 18th 2012. SixXS joins these sites by following suite - we will not serve our homepage today.

Monday, January 2nd - Mini Forum update

We have updated the forum so that quoting others is easier and better visible. One can now also use standard e-mail style quotes, thus by identing lines with the greater than (>) symbol.

Thus hop on to the forums and enjoy this mini update.

Sunday, January 1st - Happy MMXII : IPv6Gate 4.0

SixXS wishes everybody a happy and fruitful 2012!

SixXS will exist for 10 years later this year and to start the celebrations we have released today an upgrade as a first gift to the community: IPv6Gate 4.0

We have overhauled the IPv6Gate internals making it quite a bit faster but also allowing unlimited request sizes and streaming of requests. This means that quite a few streaming services are now automatically usable through the gateway.

As always, in case of problems don't hesitate to contact us.
