OpenVPN & IPv6

[nostalos]

So I've been working on this for awhile with no success. I have been running openvpn fine with just IPv4, however I want to enable serving up both 4 and 6 within my openvpn tunnel. I've done this before with linux based servers by simply adding this to my config.

server-ipv6 20xx:4xx:c2xx::/64

However when doing so with my router all traffic stop passing through the tunnel. Also just configuring the interface with IPv6 causes all traffic to stop over the tunnel.

Is anyone else enabling IPv6 over their openvpn tunnels? if so how? Or if someone has any suggestions I would be glad to hear them. I assume this poitn that it is an iptables issue, but I have had zero luck with troubleshooting.

Thanks

is your home wan connection over IPv4, with some kind of ipv6 over ipv4 transition mechanism? if so, your best bet may be to run a TAP tunnel rather than TUN; pretty much no additional configuration required, but i don't think many mobile devices support TAP. i tried and failed to get it working with tun for a couple days, unfortunately

Yeah, WAN is IPv4 with a 6in4 tunnel to HE. And unfortunately TAP isn't an option. My primary use of VPN is secure browsing from android, which has no TAP support.... TAP would make several things much easier
