Using Sixxs Tunnels on Debian

Check your address at Tunnel Details in https://www.sixxs.net/home

Need:

• Your IPv6
• IPv6 Prefix
• PoP IPv6
• PoP IPv4

Check your machine for IPv6 support in kernel:

$ cat /proc/net/if_inet6

If enable, will output a similar text:

00000000000000000000000000000001 01 80 10 80       lo
fe800000000000000218f3fffe1b7911 02 40 20 80     eth0
fe8000000000000002e07dfffed2fa0b 04 40 20 80     eth1

Now edit the /etc/network/interfaces file, insert the text, and change with your numbers:

auto sixxs
iface sixxs inet6 v4tunnel
        address YOUR_IPv6
        netmask 64 (last number in IPv6 Prefix)
        endpoint POP_IPv4
        ttl 64
        mtu 1280
        gateway POP_IPv6

Now:

$ ifup sixxs

If no return, are ok.

Check if are up:

$ ifconfig sixxs
