“in my case i own the subnet 2001:5c0:95ad::/48 so any address from 2001:5c0:95ad::1 to 2001:5c0:95ad::ffff is all mine to cherish”

Actually,

any address from 2001:5c0:95ad::1 to 2001:5c0:95ad:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff is all yours to cherish (minus applicable reserved addresses, etc.)

First off, you need to add the subnet IP ex: 2001:5c0:95ad::1 to the IPv6 tunnel adapter (using netsh), after which if your IRC client supports IPv6 it would automatically start using the newly added IP. Unfortunately i am not sure how you switch between different IPs, If you have multiple IPs added to the adapter.

Nice to find some information about this; however you didn’t explain how to set up the client to USE ips from your subnet, do you set this through the tunnel client or irc client?

GO6 does support reverse dns, you could try to run a “DNS Auth Trace” on your IPv6 address from the afraid.org homepage, to check if afraid.org nameservers are the authorized NS for the reverse dns. You also checkout the tools as dnsstuff.com to trace the problem.
