# Your Tunnel settings start here
# 1. get HEUSER hash from the website, "UserID"
# 2. get HEPASS hash: echo -n YourPass|md5
# 3. get HETUNNEL from the website, "Global Tunnel ID"
# 4. get other settings from the website

# This is some IP from the "Routed /64" pool, used for outgoing connections from your Mac.
# Should it get blocked by anyone, you can simply change it to any other IP from the pool
# without having to apply for a new tunnel. e.g. if your Routed /64 pool is 
# 2001:0123:123b:1234::/64, you can use this for your IP:

HEMY64IP=2001:0123:123b:1234::0bad:cafe
