I'm sorry for opening a ticket for this. I searched the site and read the Use Policy but only found references to IRC. The first thing I've noticed after setting up the tunnel is that my transmission-daemon (bitttorrent client) is 'leaking' into the IPv6 tunnel, starting up connections with other IPv6 peers and sending/recieving UDP packets. I disabled it from doing so by ip6tables rules, matching his packets by owner, and reject incoming packets on port 6885, my published port. I did this out of assuming you will not like the bandwidth. I would love to hear your comments. Is it OK if I let it send just the UDP packets? Do you *want* (or agree to) 1mbit of BitTorrent going through the tunnel?

Your question is very well answered in the FAQ: Is there a traffic/data limit?. Do keep in mind that based on the legal environment you are in and depending on also on where you terminate your tunnel, copyright regulations might apply. Thus do make sure that what you are transferring is allowed for you to be transfered.

Thank you for the quick response. I'm sorry, my question was indeed fully answered in the FAQ. I did not look hard enough
