I'm trying to setup a native IPv6 VPN (tap mode) with OpenVPN (2.1.4), but when I try to start
OpenVPN I get this error:
Thu Apr 7 13:03:14 2011 us=193127 RESOLVE: Cannot resolve host address: 2001:690:2080:8009::198: [HOST_NOT_FOUND] The specified host is unknown.
Thu Apr 7 13:03:14 2011 us=193142 Exiting
If I change local address in openvpn.conf to IPv4, everything works fine. I get an IPv4 and IPv6 address from my local network. But now I would like to setup a native IPv6 VPN (no IPv4).
I read some docs from OpenVPN site and it seems that OpenVPN doesn't support IPv6 yet
So, does anyone know if OpenVPN will support IPv6 soon? or if there is any patch?
