Re: [Openvpn-users] FreeBSD and IPv6 via openvpn

Thomas,

Linux has a tun driver that already supports IPv6, though I'm not as familiar
with the FreeBSD tun driver.  If the FreeBSD tun driver does support IPv6,
then you would probably need to add some extra code to tun.c in OpenVPN to
support it.

The other alternative is to use a tap interface.  Both linux and freebsd have
tap drivers, and a tap driver will seamlessly support any protocol that can
function over ethernet.
