18.7 Legacy Series / OpenVPN with OPNsense and IPv6
« on: November 10, 2018, 06:21:31 pm »
Hello!
Months ago I made the decision to use OPNsense as the main, Internet-facing firewall service. This is for publicly accessible computing infrastructure, where IPv6 is an assumed requirement for clients. OPNsense will run on a bare metal server with 4 onboard NIC's.
(I had a delay in the meantime while I was attending to other concerns. Thankfully now I'm able to return to this work.)
I read the following post recently: https://www.reddit.com/r/OPNsenseFirewall/comments/9tispi/ovpn_and_ipv6/ OpenVPN is not a foundation of my infrastructure but I do expect to use it extensively and depend on it for certain important applications. I'd read here, for example, that IPv6 should be supported properly: https://wiki.opnsense.org/manual/ipv6.html
Is there some important concept that I'm missing? For example, some specific edge case that I've gotten confused by? Thanks for any help in straightening this out!
Kind regards.
