I use tor to give me a globally unique name where I can access my stuff 
behind NAT as a Tor hidden service.

I've been thinking that perhaps I might be able to use yggdrasil to get a 
ipv6 address to do the same, without the latency of tor.

Has anyone tried it, or have some other methodology that does not depend 
on dyndns or similar web sites?
