OpenVPN - IPv6 works only in local network

Question

Hello everyone,

I have dual stack OpenVPN server:

IPv4 works fine, but IPv6 works only in local network. I would like to access the IPv6 Internet through my VPN.

Server eth0 IP: 2a03:b0c0:1:d0::7f:8001/64 Server tun0 IP: 2a03:b0c0:1:d0::7f:8002/64 Client tun0 IP: 2a03:b0c0:1:d0::7f:8003/64

Server

Do you have any idea what is wrong? Thanks you for your help!

In CCD do iroute-ipv6 2a03:b0c0:1:d0::7f:8001/64iroute-ipv6 2000::/3 instead ofpush “route-ipv6 2a03:b0c0:1:d0::7f:8001/64”push “route-ipv6 2000::/3”

Anyone solved this problem?

Okay, I solved this problem. Tested on clean OpenVPN installed by that tutorial: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-an-openvpn-server-on-ubuntu-14-04 We need to create another subnet(?) for OpenVPN, so in /etc/openvpn/server.conf add:server-ipv6 ANY_IP_V6::/112 I used my server IP replacing two colons in it for one and adding at the end :80::/112 Now create rule:ip6tables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s YOUR_ANY_IP_V6/112 -j SNAT --to YOUR_SERVER_IP And remember, in /etc/sysctl.conf uncomment:net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding = 1 Restart, reconnect and check test-ipv6.com . This site shows problem with big MTU, but I don’t know now how to solve it BTW sorry for my bad english.
