# IPv6 Tunnel setup of an tunnelbroker.net tunnel on Linux using the configuration file `/etc/network/interfaces`

Please make sure, that `IPV6=yes` is set in `/etc/default/ufw`. After changing this,
you have to run `sudo ufw disable && sudo ufw enable` in order to get it to work.

You set up the tunnel. To remove the tunnel again, run these commands:

Hello Phillip, could you help me with Tunelbroker?

I found your configuration script on github, but the site that had the walkthrough was taken down.
