Hi All!
Currently I'm using FreeBSD 10.0 and OpenVPN 2.3.2 in server mode. My clients are on Windows.
In my config all the clients connects to virtual ethernet hub (ovpn server) and sets up an IPv6 private subnet from fd00::/8. An OVPN server itself has to set up an IPv6 address too, because it has some additional services which are needed by clients.
On Windows it is not a problem to setup a static IPv6 address. But on FreeBSD the IPv6 address on TAP always disappears when OVPN server restarting or reloading (SIGHUP).
In order to (re)configure an address the only way i have is the --up script (which needs increasing the --script-security). This is because --ifconfig-ipv6 works only with TUN, and it is a bit strange, because --ifconfig works with both.
So my question is:
Whether exists a convenient and reliable way to setup an IPv6 address on TAP as it occurs with IPv4?
Thanks
