Hi,

 

I would like to request the addition of IPv6 support for WireGuard.

IPv6 adoption has increased significantly, doubling from 2020 to 2024, and now reaches approximately 75% in countries like Germany and France [1].

Notably, most fiber and cable connections in Germany are now behind Carrier-Grade NAT (CG-NAT), making it impossible to establish a VPN connection without IPv6 support.

 

To overcome this limitation, I have had to deploy a consumer-grade router (AVM Fritz!Box) in front of my professional Omada setup to facilitate VPN connectivity—an approach that undermines the efficiency and intent of a professional networking environment.

 

Implementing IPv6 support in WireGuard would greatly enhance its usability in regions with extensive CG-NAT implementation, streamlining secure connections for many users.

IPV6 is becoming the trend for future. It’ll be great if wireguard can support this feature

I am as surprised as disappointed that this Feature is Not already available. Starting to question whether using tp-link omada system was the right choice for me. Please implement wireguard over ipv6 soon!

A must due to wide spread CG-NET adoption by isp's. In Portugal all 4 big isp's use it.
