Virtual private networks / Is it possible to use an IPv6 address for the endpoint address in Wireguard?
« on: October 16, 2023, 11:21:37 pm »
Hello, I am a newbie as far as OPNsense or Wireguard is concerned.
I have looked quite far in this forum: I have only ever seen IPv4 addresses as the endpoint address for Wireguard. Is it possible to also use an IPv6 address for the endpoint address in Wireguard?
I did my configuration according to the https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/wireguard-client.html and I selected "IPv4 + IPv6" everywhere it was specified, but it doesn't work. It only works with the IPv4 endpoint address.
Can the Wireguard server handle IPv6 traffic on the endpoint at all? Or is this a problem of OPNsense?
I have the same problem with OpenVPN! Also here only an IPv4 address works as endpoint address.
Best regards
Andreas
