Allow SIT Encapsulation/Protocol 41 for 6to4 INSIDE OpenVPN tunnel

Post by abuttino » Wed Aug 26, 2020 6:27 am

Hey all,

Is there a special configuration needed to do this?

Using AirVPN and they say that they support 6 over 4 but I need to do this inside a tunnel to subvert the ISP's limitations.

Is it possible? And If so, what needs to be done to allow this communication?

Thanks!

Tony

OpenVPN is a VPN: Packets go in one end and come out the other. That is all ..

I think you may be barking up the wrong tree.

Don't know why you would say that. In order to get around ISP limitations, a VPN is required for IPv6 and, the only way I can get said IPv6 is TunnelBroker. It essentially becomes a tunnel inside of a tunnel.

Which is what TunnelBroker is meant to do.

TunnelBroker is not OpenVPN.

OpenVPN can use IPv4 or v6, inside or outside the tunnel.

OpenVPN does not do 6to4 or 4to6, inside or outside the tunnel.

@Mod -> Off Topic, please :)
