Hello, I plan writing an article about using OpenVPN for tunneling IPv6. Thatfor some more information about the current status would help descriping the benefits of OpenVPN more precisely.
1) Current status 1a) As far as I've found out, OpenVPN 2.0 supports forwarding IPv6 when using tun+tun-ipv6 or tap. But neither of the build-in commands (like route, ifconfig, server, push/pull) supprot IPv6-addresses or IPv6 Name-lookup. Is this correct, or have I overlooked something? 1b) Since one has to set up IPv6 manually (due to 1a): What is the benefit of using tun+tun-ipv6 instead of tap? I assume the first alows for using current IPv4 support, while the later requires me to set up IPv4 manually (in addition of setting up IPv6 manually). 2) "merge JuanJo Ciarlante's IPv6 patch" Thw wiki-wishlist states this as a topic. I've not found this path yet. What does it enhance/fix/enable? 3) Roadmap, further plans for IPv6 What is the roadmap to improofing IPv6-support? What topics, which release, which timeline? Thanks for your answers in advance! -- Schönen Gruß - Regards Hartmut Goebel | Hartmut Goebel | IT-Security -- effizient | | h.goe...@goebel-consult.de | www.goebel-consult.de |
