I have two different questions, the first one could be stupid. I was reading about IPV6 and ended up in this site http://test-ipv6.com/ that says that I have a public IPV6 with Teredo tunneling. I don't understand if this Teredo is a software thing, does it have to with my ISP, is it enabled by Windows, how do I get that IPV6 IP, where does it come from? I have windows 7.

Second question, I have a VPS with IPV6 connectivity only I can connect to it (apparently thanks to Teredo) and visit pages from the web server using IPV6 IP directly into the browser, is it possibile to host a website on there accessible by the IPV4 network? maybe some dns servers than tunnel traffic from IPV4(user) to IPV6(server)?

Thank you

Teredo is basically a way to encapsulate IPv6 packets in IPv4 UDP packets. It allows you to have IPv6 connectivity even if your ISP does not assign you an IPv6 address. There are a number of publicly accessible Teredo relays to route your encapsulated traffic to IPv6 network. Your Win7 host has a virtual Teredo network adapter with an IPv6 address assigned to it.
