Tunnelbroker.net & ASUS routers
I am typing this, because there is a lot of misinformation on this, especially about the dynamic DNS part.

The tunnel
Go to the router web panel and IPv6 under advanced settings.
Basic Config
- Connection type: Tunnel 6in4
- Server IPv4-address: Server IPv4 Address from IPv6 tunnel endpoints in tunnelbroker.net tunnel details
- Client IPv6 address: Client IPv6 address from IPv6 tunnel endpoints in tunnelbroker.net tunnel details
- IPv6 prefix length: 64
- Tunnel MTU: 0
- Tunnel TTL: 255
IPv6 LAN Setting
- LAN IPv6 Prefix: Routed /64 from Routed IPv6 Prefixes from tunnelbroker.net tunnel details
- LAN Prefix Length: 64
IPv6 DNS Setting
- IPv6 DNS Server 1: 2001:470:20::2 (this is the one tunnelbroker.net says for me)
- IPv6 DNS Server 2: 2001:4860:4860::8888 Google DNS 1
- IPv6 DNS Server 3: 2001:4860:4860::8844 Google DNS 2
Auto Configuration Setting
- Enable Router Advertisement: Enable
Dynamic DNS
Go to Advanced Settings, WAN, DDNS
- Enable the DDNS CLient: Yes
- Server: WWW.TUNNELBROKER.NET
- Host Name: tunnel ID from tunnelbroker.net tunnel details
- User Name or E-mail address: *username of tunnelbroker.net
- Password or DDNS Key: Update Key from tunnel details under the Advanced tab
All guides I have seen say that username is user ID from index of tunnelbroker.net and password is account password, but that doesn’t work for me. This is how I got it working guessing the details based on Example Update URL at the same place you got the Update Key.
Now it should either work or not.
- If it gives error saying something about trying again later, you are doing something wrong.
- If it gives error about endpoint IP not changed since the last update, it works.
- If you don’t get error, it doesn’t work.
Now I would suggest you to go to Administration and from there Restore/Save/UPload Setting and clicking the “Save setting”s “Save” button so in case something bad happens you can easily restore the working state.
And I probably shouldn’t need to say this, but I will say it anyway: don’t use admin/admin as username/password combination!
Privacy Badger will take care of third-party tracking the best, but hiding this message takes a more targeted filter such as uBlock Origin (for Firefox) or uBlock Origin Lite (for everything else).
Additionally considering adblocking DNS services such as DNS4EU Protective Resolution With Ad blocking or public AdGuard DNS may be a good idea to clean up your modern internet.

PS. I am not sorry if this cosmetic filtering targeting script doesn't detect your protection, because this message brings me too many amused messages and smiles for that (and thus this message is here to stay) 🐾
