The route command from the script does not work. I've sent them my version
of the script:

#!/bin/sh

set -e

CLIENT_IP6="3ffe:b00:c18:1fff:0:0:0:3b9"
SERV_IP6="3ffe:b00:c18:1fff:0:0:0:3b8"
SERV_IP4="206.123.31.102"
CLIENT_IP4="212.183.49.158"

EXT_IF="ippp0"

# Perl script for autotunnel IPv6 with Debian GNU/Linux
echo "Your system is using Debian GNU/Linux with IPv6 stack";

# Somes informations about tunnels values
cat << EOF

Your IPv6 address                  : $CLIENT_IP6
Freenet6 IPv6 address (server side): $SERV_IP6
Freenet6 IPv4 address (server side): $SERV_IP4
Your IPv4 address                  : $CLIENT_IP4

EOF

case "$1" in
  start)
	echo -n "Creating tunnel..."
	/sbin/ifconfig sit0 up
	/sbin/ifconfig $EXT_IF add $CLIENT_IP6
	/sbin/ifconfig sit0 tunnel ::$SERV_IP4
	/sbin/ifconfig sit1 up
	/sbin/route --inet6 add ::/0 gw fe80::$SERV_IP4 dev sit1
	echo "done"
	;;
  stop)
	echo -n "Shutting down tunnel..."
	/sbin/ifconfig sit0 down
	/sbin/ifconfig sit1 down
	/sbin/ifconfig $EXT_IF del $CLIENT_IP6
	echo "done"
	;;
  *)
  	echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop}"
	exit 1;
	;;
esac

exit 0



Another tunnel provider uses proposes this:

[....]
  start)
	echo -n "Setting up tunnel..."
	/sbin/iptunnel add gif0 mode sit remote $SERV_IP4 local $CLIENT_IP4 ttl 64
	/sbin/ifconfig gif0 up
	/sbin/ifconfig gif0 add $CLIENT_IP6
	/sbin/route -A inet6 add ::/0 gw $GW dev gif0
	echo "done"
	;;
  stop)
	echo -n "Shutting down tunnel..."
	/sbin/ifconfig gif0 down
	/sbin/iptunnel del gif0
	echo "done"
	;;
[....]
