NAME
gw6c - Gateway6 Client

SYNOPSIS
gw6c [-h] [-]?
gw6c [-c]
gw6c [-f config_file] [-i interface_name] [-u interface_name] [-s interface_name] [-r retry_delay]

DESCRIPTION
gw6c provides a means to configure a tunnel obtained from a tunnel server that supports the tunnel setup protocol (TSP). gw6c will connect to a tunnel server and request a tunnel according to the specifications given in the configuration file. As a background process, it will then monitor the state of the tunnel. In the event of a timeout, gw6c will establish a new tunnel.

gw6c currently supports three types of tunnels:

- v6v4 (IPv6 over IPv4)
    Supported on FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Linux, Windows, Solaris, Darwin and OpenWRT.

- v6udpv4 (IPv6 over UDP over IPv4)
    Supported on FreeBSD, Linux, Windows, Darwin and OpenWRT.

- v4v6 (IPv4 over IPv6 (DSTM))
    Supported on FreeBSD and Windows.
