# This script does all of the necessary configuration to enable direct IPv6
# connectivity via a Hurricane Electric IPv6 tunnel from http://tunnelbroker.net
# on an Ubuntu or other Linux system when radvd is unavailable on the network,
# or for setting up radvd on the system.
# To use this script, put it in /etc/network/if-up.d and make it executable,
# then run it by itself or restart the networking services.
# Load the kernel IPv6 module. This isn't necessary on Linode.
modprobe ipv6
# The primary internet-facing network interface
MY_IF=eth0
# Given under "IPv6 Tunnel Endpoints" on the tunnel details page
SERVER_V4=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
CLIENT_V6=2001:xxx:xxxx:xxx::2/64
# An address from your Routed /64 or /48 prefix for the local interface
LOCAL_V6=2001:xxx:xxxx:xxx::1337/64
# If you have a static IP address (such as on Linode), you can comment these out.
# Otherwise, set them to your tunnelbroker.net username and password, and your tunnel ID.
HE_USER=
HE_PASS=
HE_TUNNEL=
# URL encode your username and password and update the client IPv4 endpoint of your tunnel
# Again, if you have a static IP address, you can skip this.
HE_USER_ENC=`perl -MURI::Escape -e "print uri_escape('$HE_USER')"`
HE_PASS_ENC=`perl -MURI::Escape -e "print uri_escape('$HE_PASS')"`
curl -k -s "https://$HE_USER_ENC:$HE_PASS_ENC@ipv4.tunnelbroker.net/ipv4_end.php?tid=$HE_TUNNEL"
# Get the local IPv4 address of your primary interface
LOCAL_V4=`ifconfig $MY_IF | grep -E 'inet addr:[\.0-9]*' | sed s/addr:// | awk '{ print $2 }'`
# Drop any existing tunnel
ip tunnel del he-ipv6
ip addr del $LOCAL_V6 dev $MY_IF
# Configure the tunnel and local interfaces and routing table
ip tunnel add he-ipv6 mode sit remote $SERVER_V4 local $LOCAL_V4 ttl 255
ip link set he-ipv6 up
ip addr add $CLIENT_V6 dev he-ipv6
ip addr add $LOCAL_V6 dev $MY_IF
ip route add ::/0 dev he-ipv6
# Uncomment or run the following separately to check your address configuration
# ip -f inet6 addr

Looks like there's a new format.

Substitute the following for lines 55-62:

LOCAL_V4=ifconfig $MY_IF | grep -E 'inet addr:[\.0-9]*' | sed s/addr:// | awk '{ print $2 }'
HE_USER_ENC=perl -MURI::Escape -e "print uri_escape('$HE_USER')"
HE_PASS_ENC=perl -MURI::Escape -e "print uri_escape('$HE_PASS')"
curl -k -s "https://$HE_USER_ENC:$HE_PASS_ENC@ipv4.tunnelbroker.net/nic/update?hostname=$HE_TUNNEL&myip=$LOCAL_V4"
