Sorry to mislead--you're correct, it is a tunnel.

https://tunnelbroker.net/ will give you a free IPv6 subnet and you can route it over your existing IPv4 link. I think you can get either a /64 or /48.

There was a 50% off coupon code for https://www.interserver.net/vps/storage.html that brought it down from $6/month to $3/month. Not sure if the code is still active or if it works for larger plans.

Interesting...here's some random thoughts:
zfs send/recv support? That seems to be the missing piece in the low-end cloud storage world. There's rsync.net and zfs.rent, but those seem to be targeting 10+ TiB. (My current solution is a 1 TiB 'storage' VPS for $3/month, running Debian ZFS on root. Works nicely, but scrubbing 600 GiB takes over a day!)
I'm not sure a one week trial is long enough, considering you're asking for annual payment up front. For instance, I didn't want to 'start the clock' by creating an account.
Borgbase has a 2 repo / 10 GB free tier, and lots of object storage services offer 20-75 GB free.
BTW, https://www.extralayer.eu/dashboard/registration.php has a broken link ( https://www.extralayer.eu/dashboard/index.html ). Several minor typos on https://www.extralayer.eu/terms-of-service.php and https://www.extralayer.eu/acceptable-use-policy.php, too.
Borg support is good. Might consider restic, too.
Location? I'd want to know where my data is.

[no time for video, so if these are answered let me know...]
Two things I never got about the iPod:
Why not add a second headphone jack so two people could listen and share the experience?
Why didn't Apple preload some music (maybe classical stuff in the public domain, performed by affordable Eastern European orchestras) for a better out of the box experience? Think about kids getting an iPod at Christmas; until it was sync'd to a computer, there wasn't much to do with it.

Sounds crazy, but the Orcale free tier might work for you. Enough to run two small Linux VPS instances free.

Should ship in July (!). Based on the Nordic nRF52840. $9 for Xenon (BLE+mesh), $15 for Argon (BLE+mesh+wifi(ESP32-S0WD)), $29 for Boron (BLE+mesh+LTE). I like that it has an onboard lithium cell charge circuit.
I ordered a Xenon and Argon to play with.
Shameless referral linkage, if anyone else wants to pre-order: https://particle.io/mesh?referral=MK92YF

Testing the ssh client config workaround:
ssh -v user@localhost 2>&1 >/dev/null | grep -i 'roaming'
