Find one topologically close to you.  I've been using Hurricane
Electric for the last 7 years automatically re-homing my end when
my IPv4 address changes.  Just a call out from the dhcp client when
the address changes.  It's a trans pacific tunnel but the majority
of my IPv6 traffic is to the US so that tend to not be a issue.

Google "tunnel brokers" and you will find lots of information.

/etc/dhclient-exit-hooks:
   ifconfig gif0 create >/dev/null 2>&1
   ifconfig gif0 tunnel $new_ip_address 64.71.128.82
   ifconfig gif0 up
   ifconfig gif0 inet6 2001:470:1F00:FFFF::5A1 2001:470:1F00:FFFF::5A0 prefixlen
 128
   route add -inet6 default 2001:470:1F00:FFFF::5A0
   # md5 hash of password
   pass=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
   # user id from main page
   user_id=yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
   # global tunnel id.
   tunnel_id=nnn
   args="ipv4b=$new_ip_address&pass=$pass&user_id=$user_id&tunnel_id=$tunnel_id"
   tunnel=`/usr/bin/fetch -q -o - "https://ipv4.tunnelbroker.net/ipv4_end.php?$a
rgs"`
   $LOGGER "IPv6 TUNNEL $tunnel"
