IPv6 Tunnel Configuration

Requirements:

  1. AstLinux 0.7.4 or later
  2. Static IPv4 public address
  3. Hurricane Electric www.tunnelbroker.net account (free)*

* Note that other IPv6 Tunnel Brokers exist, and others may better suit your location. This example will use tunnelbroker.net.

Before creating your www.tunnelbroker.net account, be sure IPv4 ICMP is enabled in the Firewall sub-tab:

Enable Ping

For reference, a YouTube screen-cast steps you through the process, around 2:10 the nitty gritty begins, “Create Regular Tunnel”.

After you have successfully registered with tunnelbroker.net and “Create Regular Tunnel”, your IPv6 tunnel configuration is shown in the format below. The labels are the AstLinux web interface Network Tab fields that are associated with the configuration values.

By default you are assigned a Routed /64 prefix. If you only have one local network, that is enough. On the other hand if you have multiple local networks and you desire a /64 for IPv6 Autoconfig for each network, you will want to enable a Routed /48 prefix (if available). A Routed /48 prefix will allow you to define up to 65,536 local /64 networks.

Select the Network Tab in the web interface. Network Tab

In this example, Red fields are filled in using your custom IPv6 Tunnel settings. Blue fields are required, but are not changed when enabling IPv6.

First select the IP Version: → IPv4 & IPv6

Add the “Anycasted IPv6 Caching Nameserver” to the DNS: field, also keeping your previous IPv4 DNS nameservers.
