VPN Wireguard IPv6 (CG-NAT)
Hallo,
I am behind a CG-NAT and have a global IPv6 address, and therefore would like to use IPv6 for my Wireguard tunnel.
My wireguard connection did not work with a local IPv4 address on the router. Maybee I forgot to allow routing between my Wireguard tunnel and my local IPv4 network, but I don`t think so, as I put them in the same VLAN.
But I was told to use a IPv6 adress for the local adress of the router. And when I try to put a IPv6 adress in this field (e.g. fd80:ea04:1115::1) Omada always tells that this is no valid adress (in all cases I tested). It seems that the Omada Interface does not accept IPv6 addresses as local IP address.
Can anyone help me to solve this problem to get via IPv6 to the router.
Thank you!
Chris

Hi @Chrim
Thanks for posting in our business forum.
VPN currently does not support v6 addresses.
And FE80 is not a public IPv6 address. That's a local address like the private v4.
If your WAN IP starts with FE80 then it cannot use v6 either as it is a private address.

Hello,
i have the same Problem. I would like use the wireguard vpn only with a IPv6 adress.
IPv4 is not so easy to get from the ISP and if you would like a fix IPv4 you have to pay.
The easyest way to avoid this ist with a fix ipv6 adress.
I think in this time it would be a standard to integrate ipv6.

If you have a public IPv6, then this might make sense.
But no information about supporting v6 in the short term as it is not the high priority task we have now. You can start a request on the request page and I can easily count the votes. Here, it does not.
If both peers do not have any of the public v4 or v6, it is not gonna do anything better regardless of the version IP we support. You still cannot connect either way.
If you are a peer who is a server with a public IP that listens to a connection, a private v4 or CGNAT v4 address on WAN does not stop you from connecting.
And you have to verify if your v6 is a public one.
