    Hi,

    I need to setup a Client-VPN and Site-to-Site to Pfsense, and I only have IPv6, no IPv4.
    I read possibilities to tunnel IPv6 through a IPv4 VPN, but this not an option as I dont have IPv4.
    Is there a way to accomplish that with Pfsense?

    Any pointers would be welcome.

      IPv6 VPN should work same as IPv4 from the interface!

        Ok, I tried again.
        Unfortunately the Client cannot connect to the PFsense server yet.

        First of all I have the following situation:

        • The Pfsense FW has a true IPV6 IP address on the internet.
        • My OpenVPN client has only IPv4, I am using Teredo to connect using IPV6 (this works Ok, can connect to internet sources using Ipv6).  Is it even possible to use a IPv6 VPN through a Teredo connection?

        I installed the VPN server and installed the client on my Win8 PC, but cannot connect at all.
        To configure OpenVPN I used the following guide: https://chubbable.com/setup-openvpn-pfsense

        What I did:

        • Setup CA
        • Installed Pfsense VPN Server certificate on PFsense
        • Created a user
        • Created a user certificate
        • installed the client export utility

        Because I cannot seem to use the Wizard (see notable things below), I create the Open VPN server manually with settings:

        • Protocol: UDP6
        • Device mode : Tun
        • Ipv4 Tunnel network address set to a fantasy Ipv4 address I do not have on the WAN interface
        • Ipv6 Tunnel network address set a real Ipv6 internet Address in the range of the WAN interface
        • Opened up  FW rules for the OpenVPN interface
        • Opened up FW rules on the WAN interface
        • Export Client Package and installed on my win8 PC.
        • It cannot connect at all. Error : "Connecting to client failed"
        • Cant find any logs on the client.
        • I dont see any traffic in the Pfsense logs when trying to connect from the client.

        Notable thing I run into:

        • When using the wizard to create a new Open VPN server, It requires me to use an IPv4 address for the Tunnel network. I only have IPV6. Error when saving: " The field 'Tunnel Network' must contain only valid ipv4 CIDR range(s) separated by commas.  " Is this to be expected?

        • When not using the wizard, I can configure an IPv6 Tunnel Network Address, but I also MUST configure a IPv4 Tunnel Network address, If I don't error: "The field Tunnel network is required." Is this to be expected?

        Please help.

          Well, got it working.
          I tried over from another pc, which has a true IPV6 address.
          I can now setup the IPv6 OpenVPN tunnel.
          Also I can now access IPV4 resources on the LAN, Through the IPv6 tunnel.

          I gave up trying through Teredo
