It is not critical, but if I use my he.net tunnel for web browsing, I
find it quite annoying that many websites speak dutch to me. My he.net
tunnel is terminated in Amsterdam.

However, I like the static /64 and /48 from HE and I still use it for
server purposes.

Now I also have a private /112 network out of my Hetzner /64, so I now
have a fixed ipv6 for my laptop and my telephone, even if I'm out
travelling. Like now.

And that Hetzner /64 is in Finland, so no problems with finnish services.
