OpenVPN with ipv6

Post by StephanKlaussen » Mon Feb 27, 2017 11:02 pm

Hello community,
Im totally new to this Forum and Im here to asking for aid. I used OpenVPN on my Windows 7 for months. Last week I changed Internet which led to the loss of ipv4. So I only have the chance to connect to OpenVPN via ipv6. Because it didnt work by itself I googled, updated to the most recent version (2.4.0) and found a guide (https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/IPv6). It says for "Providing IPv6 outside the tunnel" (which is what I need I guess.. I have a ipv6 at home and want to connect to OpenVPN and use it normaly... so its what I need, isnt it?) I need to use "proto udp6" on "both sides".
Here is my problem: Because I never used any kind of configuration (only the files on http://www.vpnbook.com/freevpn) I have no idea what to configure or where to type in the command. I tryed to edit the files on http://www.vpnbook.com/freevpn by adding a "6" after "proto udp" but it didnt work, saying it does not know if to take ipv4 or ipv6 (which is strange, bc I only have access to ipv6).

I hope you get my point. I guess this is an easy to solve problem once you have the right know-how. :D
I would be very thankful for kind of help.
Greetings

HOWTO: Request Help !
Well... reading the HOWTO confuses me any further. I always connected with only a client config file and withouth a server config (I dont know what that should be).
But obviously I am using the free OpenVPN Community Edition.
And, as stated above, I used the standard config files for connecting. Those are the files I tryed to edit without sucess. :(

Posting the config and starting logs soon...

You have to ask vpnbook to support IPv6.
