How to make openvpn work with gif0 device IPV6 tunnel on Mac

Post by yipsama » Fri May 15, 2015 12:19 pm

Recently, I have to build my ipv6 network with gif0 tunnel.
The mac osx script to ipv6 tunnel is showed as below:
/sbin/ifconfig gif0 tunnel $LOCAL_IP 219.224.165.235
/sbin/ifconfig gif0 inet6 2001:da8:203:666:0:5efe:$LOCAL_IP prefixlen 96
/sbin/route add -inet6 default 2001:da8:203:666:0:5efe:219.224.165.235

And i use the open source software named tunnelblick to get my VPN work. But it turn out some error that i do not know hot to solve.
The Email attachment is the output of tunnelblick.
It shows almost all of my system environment and the openvpn log.

And i asked the same question in tunnelblick discussion forum and it is posted in the under address.

They told me that there will be some way to help openvpn work with gif or srf device.

OpenVPN uses TUN/TAP Adapter only.

Whatever the actual problem you are having is, you must post your OpenVPN server and client configs and logs please.

But if I use isatap on Windows, openvpn works well.

ISATAP has nothing to do with OpenVPN.
