I'm definitely not a total       expert on it or IPv6 but do have IPv6 working on my home network.              During my initial foray into Wireguard, I found that for IPv4, Wireguard       doesn't work on Layer 2 where the broadcasts that DHCP needs would exist. IPv6       replaced broadcasts with multicast, which are still Layer 2 and most of the       autoconfiguration of IPv6 relies on it, including RA/RS messages, SLAAC and       DHCPv6.       So I *think* you can make a Wireguard tunnel with IPv4 on the outside and 2       interfaces with IPv6 on the inside, you'll just have to assign the "inside"       wgX addresses manually. E.g. fd77::1/64 and fd77::2/64. You might need to add       fe80:: addresses manually as well.              OpenVPN does work on Layer 2 if you use tap mode (Wireguard is like OpenVPN in       tun mode), and DHCPv4 will definitely cross it if you have the tap junctioned       into a bridge that a physical NIC is part of. I got a Windows file share       working over an Internet connection with it once. I haven't played with IPv6       over OpenVPN yet.       --- SBBSecho 3.27-Linux        * Origin: Vertrauen - [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net (1:103/705)       SEEN-BY: 10/0 1 103/705 104/117 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/187 129/14       SEEN-BY: 153/7715 154/110 214/22 218/0 1 215 620 700 860 940 226/30       SEEN-BY: 227/114 229/110 114 206 317 400 426 428 470 550 616 664 700       SEEN-BY: 229/705 266/512 280/464 291/111 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45       SEEN-BY: 633/280 902/26       PATH: 103/705 218/700 229/426           |
