      @yon:

      thank you. My andriod mobile can get ip6 address, but i visit test-ipv6.com for test show no ipv6. i don't know why it is.

      Because you haven't route all traffic to dev-tun0?
      Try use another OpenVPN Client like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.blinkt.openvpn or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.colucciweb.free.openvpn.
      I use second one.
      Here like it looks:

          That what I've already say to you  ;D. You already have answer on yours question in post above T__T (Reply #9 on: Today at 04:10:22 am)
          You have 2 choices:
          1. Push route from OpenVPN server side.
          (This good if you want that all clients by default use yours IPv6.)
          Under OpenVPN Server:
          From server config Redirect Gateway - Force all client generated traffic through the tunnel.

          2. Use client side config to add route.
          (This good when somebody do not need yours VPN like gateway.)
          From client OVPN config (can be automated by custom field in client export plugin in pfSenese):
          #Uncomment to use VPN as IPv4 Gateway
          #redirect-gateway def1
          #Uncomment to use VPN as IPv6 Gateway
          #route-ipv6 ::/0

          Its hard to read all comments? :-X
          In that mobile client you can edit setting and add route through the GUI that you want:
          Edit Button -> Routing -> IPv6 tab

                Use google or
                add to the server custom config then this lines:
                push "dhcp-option DNS6 myDNS1-IPv6";
                push "dhcp-option DNS6 myDNS2-IPv6";
                push "route-ipv6 ::/0";

                i hope you have IPv6 dns... T__T

                      Try to use Google Public DNS: 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4 it works for me with IPv6 tunnel.

                        Huh.. how is 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4 ipv6 dns ;)

                        You mean their ipv6 addresses?
                        The Google Public DNS IPv6 addresses are as follows:

                        2001:4860:4860::8888
                            2001:4860:4860::8844

                        For devices that will not accept :: then use the full address

                        2001:4860:4860:0:0:0:0:8888
                            2001:4860:4860:0:0:0:0:8844

                          I mean they can resolve IPv6:

                          nslookup ipv6.google.com 8.8.8.8
                          Server:  google-public-dns-a.google.com
                          Address:  8.8.8.8
                          
                          Non-authoritative answer:
                          Name:    ipv6.l.google.com
                          Address:  2a00:1450:400c:c04::71
                          Aliases:  ipv6.google.com
                          

                          I have no local IPv6 and OpenVPN config like that:

                          server-ipv6 fd6c:62d9:eb8c::/112
                          proto udp6
                          tun-ipv6
                          push tun-ipv6
                          push "route-ipv6 2000::/3"
                          push "redirect-gateway ipv6"
                          push "dhcp-option DNS 8.8.8.8"
                          push "dhcp-option DNS 8.8.4.4"
                          

                          And it can pass all test at http://test-ipv6.com

                            Pretty lame setup to go through all the hassles of giving your client an IPv6 address, and then pointing it to dns via ipv4… Even if those forwarders can use ipv6..

                            Why would you not just point them towards ipv6 dns?

                            How exactly are you getting to your server from your phone to a ULA address?  And how would you then convert that ula even if your tunnel to the public internet global range?  And even if you wanted to use a ULA for your vpn tunnel connection.. why in the world would you be using a borked /112 ??

                            Your example dns lookup is just looking up a AAAA record.. Yeah no shit anyone can lookup AAAA via ipv4... That is not the same thing at all..

                            I doubt your config is working - show your test ipv6 page showing a ULA address like you show getting to your server via..  Also the OP is asking how to tunnel ipv6 over a ipv4 connection.  For the life of me why would you be using ULA at all??  Anywhere in your setup if your trying to get your vpn client an IPv6 address that it can use to get to the internet.  Since your routing ipv6 through the tunnel.

                            I just added a ipv6 tunnel network from my HE /48 to a ipv4 setup I have.  Connected via my phone on ipv4 - and there you go using this IPv6 to get to the internet, etc...  Took all of 30 seconds to setup.. Remote even - all it took was adding the ipv6 tunnel network in my vpn config on pfsense, and adding some ipv6 dns..

                            I then disconnected the vpn over IPv4 and just to show the network I am on here has no ipv6.. I ran again the ipv6 test page.. And no ipv6 connectivity - it was going thru my tunnel.

                                  Pretty lame setup to go through all the hassles of giving your client an IPv6 address, and then pointing it to dns via ipv4… Even if those forwarders can use ipv6..

                                  Why would you not just point them towards ipv6 dns?

                                  How exactly are you getting to your server from your phone to a ULA address?  And how would you then convert that ula even if your tunnel to the public internet global range?  And even if you wanted to use a ULA for your vpn tunnel connection.. why in the world would you be using a borked /112 ??

                                  Your example dns lookup is just looking up a AAAA record.. Yeah no shit anyone can lookup AAAA via ipv4... That is not the same thing at all..

                                  I doubt your config is working - show your test ipv6 page showing a ULA address like you show getting to your server via..  Also the OP is asking how to tunnel ipv6 over a ipv4 connection.  For the life of me why would you be using ULA at all??  Anywhere in your setup if your trying to get your vpn client an IPv6 address that it can use to get to the internet.  Since your routing ipv6 through the tunnel.

                                  I just added a ipv6 tunnel network from my HE /48 to a ipv4 setup I have.  Connected via my phone on ipv4 - and there you go using this IPv6 to get to the internet, etc...  Took all of 30 seconds to setup.. Remote even - all it took was adding the ipv6 tunnel network in my vpn config on pfsense, and adding some ipv6 dns..

                                  I then disconnected the vpn over IPv4 and just to show the network I am on here has no ipv6.. I ran again the ipv6 test page.. And no ipv6 connectivity - it was going thru my tunnel.

                                    johnpoz, why so many aggression :) It is really working. Yep, I NATed local IPv6, I have my reasons to do it. But result is the same. (I don't need to give my phone public IPv6, just need IPv6 working).

                                        "I NATed local IPv6"

                                        So you have not /64 segments and natted - wow what a BORKED setup!

                                        you don't need all that shit… You just need to add the ipv6 to your ipv4 tunnel..
