Hurricane Electric is a global Internet service provider offering Internet transit, tools, and network applications,[1] as well as data center colocation and hosting services at one location in San Jose, California[2] and two locations in Fremont, California,[3] where the company is based.

Hurricane Electric offers an IPv6 tunnel broker service,[7] providing free connectivity to the IPv6 Internet via 6in4 IPv6 transition mechanisms.

Prior to 2020, the service allowed users to peer with Hurricane Electric over the tunnel using Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) to announce their routes.

[19][20] In July 2023, Hurricane Electric added a BGP filtering rule to deny traffic to and from the controversial discussion forum Kiwi Farms.

[21] The ISP company IncogNET filed a complaint to the Washington State Attorney General's Office in response to this.
