Preface#
Warning: It is not recommended to use this service in mainland China, even if you choose the closest HKG, you will still experience high latency due to global routing:::
With the rapid development of the Internet and the continuous increase in the number of global users, the gradual exhaustion of IPv4 address resources has become an important challenge for the Internet. IPv6, as the new generation Internet protocol, provides a feasible solution to the problem of insufficient IPv4 addresses. However, there are still many servers and network devices that only support IPv4, resulting in many websites and applications unable to directly access IPv6 resources.
TunnelBroker is a free service launched by Hurricane Electric. It allows users to apply for free IPv6 addresses on IPv4 Only servers and transmit IPv6 traffic to IPv4 networks through IPv6 tunnels. By using TunnelBroker, you can obtain IPv6 support for free on existing IPv4 infrastructure without the need to replace hardware or network architecture.
Installation#
:::warning Note: Please make sure your server IP can be pinged on the public network first:::
First, open the TunnelBroker official website
Log in on the left side, register if you don't have an account
After that, click on the left side Create Regular Tunnel, then fill in your server IP address below, and find the node closest to your server from the boxes below
Then scroll down and click Create Tunnel
Then wait for a while, click on Example Configurations at the top
Then choose your preferred system
Windows#
Let's take Windows as an example first, just paste this string into the cmd window
In addition, Tunnelbroker has assigned you a /64 IPv6 segment. If you don't like the default IP, you can customize it
When executing the command in line 3, replace the IP address at the end with an address within that /64 network segment
What? You want to customize it even after pasting it?
Don't worry, remove it first by executing the following command
netsh interface ipv6 del address interface=IP6Tunnel address=original
Then execute
netsh interface ipv6 add address interface=IP6Tunnel address=new
That's it
After that, we open IP.SB
We can see that we already have an IPv6 address, and when we open IPv6 Test, it passes completely
Linux#
It's even simpler under Linux, just a few lines of commands, paste them into the terminal
Effect#
Then let's take a look separately
Both Windows and Linux are connected to IPv6
Removal#
It won't be invalidated in Windows, so please manually execute the following command to remove it
netsh interface ipv6 del address interface=IP6Tunnel address=your IPV6 address
For Linux, it will be invalidated after restarting. Just restart and execute the configuration command again
