OpenVPN IPv6 Local Network
-
Hello.
i have configured OpenVPN to connect to both IPv4 and IPv6 local networks.
The IPv4 works fine but the IPv6 local netowork doesnt seem to NAT when connected to the openvpn.
I can see the IPv6 network on the adapater, it just doesnt NAT.
I have tried a few NAT settings but with no luck.
Any Ideas?

I am also having issues pinging the gateway when vpn connected
I have enabled inter-client communication and i can ping the ipv4 ip 10.0.50.1 but i cant ping the ipv6 fe80::1 which is very strange.
My isp doesnt support IPv6 but it should still tunnel as far as i know, i can get it working on softether.

got it working now mostly, needed to change the openvpn ipv6 ip range as it conflicted with my local one.
I am getting some weird pings now - i think something is wrong with either the nat or routing
I get one single ping to a local ipv6 on a server, when i ping a pfsense its fine and i get full echo's

Why are you using NAT on IPv6? Just use another /64 and route to it, as the network gods intended.

Where is that fe80::1? If you have to route to get to it, it will never work as those addresses don't pass through routers. Also, with link local addresses, you often have to specify the interface you're using to reach it.

I get the impression you're heading in the wrong direction. With IPv6, most ISPs provide multiple /64s. I get /56, which contains 256 /64s from mine. I then assign a /64 to wherever I have a network. For example, I have 1 each for my main LAN, guest WiFi, test LAN, Cisco router and OpenVPN. I suspect you're still thinking in terms of IPv4, where is was necessary to use a hack, NAT, to make up for the address shortage. No need for that nonsense on IPv6.
