Port unreachable means that no appropriate tunnel port can be found
for the incoming packet.  The source address of the GRE packet must
match the remote_ip of one of the tunnel ports for it to get
decapsulated.

I'm guessing that you are connecting to the machine over eth1 and
that's why you lose connectivity, as that port is no longer connected
to the IP stack.
