Virtual private networks / IPV6 over Wireguard
« on: February 17, 2024, 06:02:58 pm »
Hello and good day to all!
I wanted to know from more experienced people here, if a provider has given me a routed /48 subnet through the wan address, is it as simple as adding it as an Virtual ip on wan, and then i can use the whole subnet? or do i need to have a separate interface so that i can use dhcpv6 on it? one of the reasons is that i want to do a site to site vpn using wireguard and route a /56 to the other location. but i am not well versed in this topic. And this problem has me stumped for weeks now. I have the tunnel up and running with no issues. The issues comes into play when i want to use another /56 on the local site. I am using GUA's for the addressing on the wireguard tunnel ipv6 only.
