2.4 Alpha2 Push Options Error

Post by bimmerdriver » Sat Oct 29, 2016 12:28 am

I'm trying the alpha release (openvpn-install-2.4_alpha2-I601-x86_64) to set up a client and server on windows 10 computers.

In the server.conf file, I have the following push option:

Code: Select all

push "dhcp-option DNS 2001:569:74bc:6a01:215:5dff:fe5c:e21f"
This results in the following error in the log:

Code: Select all

Fri Oct 28 15:01:25 2016 PUSH: Received control message: 'PUSH_REPLY,block-outside-dns,redirect-gateway def1 bypass-dhcp,redirect-gateway ipv6 def1,route-ipv6 2000::/3,dhcp-option DNS 10.8.0.100,dhcp-option DNS 2001:569:74bc:6a01:215:5dff:fe5c:e21f,tun-ipv6,route 10.8.0.1,topology net30,ping 10,ping-restart 120,ifconfig-ipv6 2001:569:74c4:a601::1000/64 2001:569:74c4:a601::1,ifconfig 10.8.0.6 10.8.0.5,peer-id 0,cipher AES-256-GCM'

With the exception of the ipv6 dns address, everything else was successfully pushed to the client. The dns is a valid ip address and it's also the correct ip address, so this seems to be a bug.

Currently, openvpn --dhcp-option DNS does not support IPv6 server address.

How can it support ipv6 but not ipv6 dns? That seems to be somewhat of a problem. ipv4 and ipv6 stacks are supposed to be able to operate independently. Do you know if it's planned to support this for 2.4?

Openvpn is bought to you for free by volunteers, this option has not been implemented because the Devs have simply not had the time to do it.
