Proxying is a terrible solution, since it allows the middleman to read all your data and masquerade as you (since cookies are part of the data.)

Your should use the 6to4 tunnel provided by your ISP instead.

6to4 has been de-preferenced by most operating systems.

what isps provide 6to4 tunnels, or even 6in4 tunnels (which i can only assume you meant?)

(agreed on the proxying point, you'd have to explicitly trust the proxy operator)

It's de-preferenced relative to v4. Which, if you have v4, you should just use directly.

I was wrong above -- NAT64+DNS64 (not a tunnel) is generally what v6-only ISPs provide.
