You don't need a week. You don't even need a day. You can probably
have a test tunnel working (on your computer) in less than an hour.
Then maybe a few more hours to get it to work on your existing equipment
(router) robustly and automatically on reboot.
I encourage you to spend that initial hour. I think you will find that
will be time well spent.
Hurricane Electric does have something else that will take more time,
maybe a few minutes a day over a month or so. Their IPv6 training
program (I last looked a number of years ago) is a good introduction to
IPv6 in general. Once you complete it, they'll even send you a shirt as
a nice perk.
Note: H.E. IPv6 training is independent and not required for their
IPv6-in-IPv4 tunnel service.
but, I assume you need a static IPv4 address.
Nope. Not really.
You do need a predictable IPv4 address. I'm using a H.E. tunnel on a
sticky IP (DHCP with long lease and renewals) perfectly fine.
If your IP does change, you just need to update the tunnel or create a
new one to replace the old one. This is all manged through their web
interface.
