Some Funtoo Linux datacenters do not have native IPv6 support, so we rely on IPv6 tunnel services provided by he.net.

This page will document how to reliably set up an IPv6 tunnel under Funtoo Linux. This particular configuration is focused on setting up a tunnel router, which means that it's not just about providing IPv6 to a single server. Instead, the server we will configure will provide IPv6 for an entire bridged network.

To follow these exact steps, you will need to visit https://tunnelbroker.net and register for an account. This process is free. You may be required to complete some IPv6 training first. Once you have done this, you should be able to configure a tunnel, which will have settings similar to this one:
