Address assignments are now maintained even after an unexpected reboot of a server.
March 30th 2009 - Montreal.freenet6.net back online
The Freenet6 system in Montreal has been replaced. Due to a problem with the special software used to maintain different static prefixes at different gateway6 systems the satic assignments reset every time a system reboots. Work is ongoing to solve this issue.
March 25th 2009 - Outage on montreal.freenet6.net
The Freenet6 system in Montreal is down due to a hardware problem. Hopefully back online shortly.
March 13th 2009 - New Gateway6 servers online
Two new systems in Amsterdam and Jakarta have been added to Freenet6. Please upgrade the Gateway6 client and connect to anonymous.freenet6.net or authenticated.freenet6.net for the best possible service. Montreal.freenet6.net and amsterdam.freenet6.net are available for users who need a static address assignment.

Address assignment should now be static as it was before the upgrade. Please report any remaining issues in the forum.
December 10th 2008 - Address allocation issues
There are some issues with the stability of the address allocations. It seems the addresses change for some users when reconnecting the tunnel. We are working on finding the problem.
December 9th 2008 - First step of Freenet6 upgrade
After several years of service the first step has been taken on major upgrade of Freenet6. The service on the orginal Freenet6 site is no back after a couple of hours outage with a new Gateway6 system to provide better performance.
As part of the whole upgrade the site had to be renumbered and the prefix delegation size changed to /56 from /48. This was done to allow multiple site without future renumbering. Soon two more sites, in Europe and Asia, will go online and significantly improve the performance and stability of the service.
