Due to my brain dead ISP which does not support IPv6 for clients in 2K25(!) I cant access my boxyBSD box.

boxyBSD is thus so far away from me :(

I have a client connection with fixed IPv4 IP somewhere, but it collapses when I use a free available IPv4 to IPv6 tunnel service.

Instead of sitting and twiddling my fingers on my Bass guitar(s) generating random() notes, I decided to get an image of the latest freeBSD and play with it locally, until I can get my ISP to provide all of us with a (set) of free IPv6 addresses because we pay them for a full service here in my country

The mage is a screenshot of the FreeBSD website, featuring a red and black color scheme. At the top, the website's logo, "FreeBSD The Power To Serve," is prominently displayed. The navigation menu includes options such as "Home," "About," "Get FreeBSD," "Documentation," "Community," "Developers," "Support," and "Foundation." A search bar is located in the top right corner, with a "Donate to FreeBSD" button next to it. The main content area is divided into sections. The left sidebar lists various FreeBSD release information, including "Release Information," "Production," "Release: 13.3," "Release: 13.4," "Release: 14.1," and "Release: 14.2." The right side of the page contains sections titled "Choosing an Architecture" and "Choosing an Image." The "Choosing an Architecture" section explains that most users will have hardware for amd64 or arm64 architectures, with support for modern PCs, embedded devices, and single-board computers like the Raspberry Pi 3 and 4, ESPRESSObin, and Allwinner and Rockchip boards. The "Choosing an Image" section details the formats for the FreeBSD installer, including DVD, network install, and USB memory sticks, as well as virtual machine and embedded platform images. At the bottom, a table lists the FreeBSD 14.2 RELEASE version, including options for the installer, VM, SD Card, and Documentation. The text emphasizes that RELEASE versions are the result of release engineering and are recommended for most users.
