Hurricane Electric have a free tunnel broker that is super simple to set up if you really want to get on the bandwagon.

https://tunnelbroker.net/

Though honestly I'd say the benefits of setting it up aren't really worth the trouble unless you're keen.

Yeah it's a huge source of problems. If you are outside the US your IPv6 prefix is never gonna be correct in every GeoIP database, even if you send a request to have it corrected, so you sometimes get geoblocked and other sites just block you because it sometimes gets classified as VPN.

What's the best way to spoof geoip on ipv6 ?

It's the same as IPv4 (tunnel) except as mentioned above its still hard to get an IP with the right label
