Hi,
Hi again,
a long time ago Juanjo Ciarlante wrote a patch for openvpn to create a
tunnel via ipv6 [1]. Later i fixed the patch to work with openvpn-2.0 and
2.1 which i use on OpenWRT and Gentoo. Roy (from Gentoo) wrote about this
also to the devel-list [1]. But since that no one answered :(
What about IPv6-support to create a tunnel over IPv6? Since my first patch
i try to adapt the patch to newer versions. This patches are not properly
tested but works fine for me (on gentoo).[2][3]
What about full IPv6-support - is this scheduled in the future or on any
roadmap? No answer is not a good practice :(
Full IPv6 support is planned for OpenVPN 3.
Some more details on OpenVPN 3:
OpenVPN 3.0 is a revamping of the OpenVPN core into a modular, more
maintainable architecture. Planned features include:
* IPv6 support
* IP multicast support
* Pluggable crypto library support (so that crypto libraries other than
OpenSSL may be used)
* Pluggable packet filter and network access control API
* Pluggable dynamic routing API (BGP, OSPF, etc.)
* Support for full-mesh topologies (in addition to the star and
point-to-point topologies supported in OpenVPN 2.x)
* Library API support allowing OpenVPN tunnels to be programmatically
created and destroyed
* Embedding support to allow OpenVPN to be embedded in other applications
* Asynchronous, event driven I/O subsystem (in the vein of Twisted,
boost::asio, or libevent)
