I wish Happy Eyeballs worked better or let me absolutely prefer IPv4, because every time I set up a free v6 tunnel I get banned about 2 days layer for pushing a few terrabytes over it, when all I wanted was to be able to SSH into every one of my containers on a cheap VPS separately. Or the tunnel is so slow, I'm degrading my entire internet connectivity.

There's your problem. You need some form of cost attached to some identity assets, anything under the IANA umbrella, ips/domain names. This is in order to prevent sybil attacks. This is all well studied under he hashcash bitcoin era as PoW.

So yeah, you actually need to spend some money not in exchange of something here, but as the very thing you need, you need to distinguish yourself from those that spend 0$, not because they are cheap, but because they may do it 1000 times and ruin it your pooled reputation.

Unfortunately there's quite a market gap if you need bandwidth. I can't just pay HE 10 bucks a month, their service doesn't work that way. Hetzner would work, but their IP space is very often randomly blocked from lots of things.

can you describe a bit more? I cannot connect the dots here on how terabytes are tied to free v6 tunnel - likely I'm missing some details. Thank you in advance.

If someone else provides IPv6 connectivity to you, you use their bandwidth. Some apps like Steam see IPv6 connectivity and use it regardless of what you'd prefer it to use, hinting mechanisms and all. So while I just wanted to use the tunnel for things that IPv4 does not provide, I always end up tunneling half my traffic over it, which free services don't like.
