-As previously state, a Lavalink node running at least `v4` with the LavaSrc plugin is required. Due to the plugin requirement, it is unlikely that you will be able to use a free/public Lavalink node.
+For instructions on setting up a Lavalink node on bare metal, look [here](https://lavalink.dev/getting-started/). Refer to the plugin repositories for support on configuring them.

-It is also highly recommended to setup IPv6 rotation in order to avoid blocks and other issues. There are helpful guides for this both [here](https://blog.arbjerg.dev/2020/3/tunnelbroker-with-lavalink) and [here](https://gist.github.com/Drapersniper/11fee08f91ea7174e0d8af12496f3443).
+After setting up your Lavalink node, it is highly recommended to configure IPv6 rotation with at least a /64 or /48 block. IPv6 rotation helps to relieve issues from getting rate limited/blocked from YouTube and other sources. There are helpful guides for setting this up which are available on GitHub, however, [this](https://github.com/Nansess/tunnelbroker-guide) is the one that I have used .
