openvpn/README.IPv6
Samuli Seppänen c1f25b6644 Merged TODO.IPv6 with TODO.ipv6 and README.IPv6 with README.ipv6
Prior to this patch were two sets of IPv6 README/TODO files: one from payload
and one from transport patchset. Unfortunately Git on Windows gets very confused
of these files, as they only differ in case. This patch merges these sets into
one.

IPv6 payload support
--------------------
Latest IPv6 payload support code and documentation can be found from here:
http://www.greenie.net/ipv6/openvpn.html
For TODO list, see TODO.IPv6.

IPv6 transport support
----------------------
[ Last updated: 25-Mar-2011. ]
OpenVPN-2.1 over UDP6/TCP6 README for ipv6-0.4.x patch releases:
( --udp6 and --tcp6-{client,server} )
* Availability
Source code under GPLv2 from http://github.com/jjo/openvpn-ipv6
Distro ready repos/packages:
o Debian sid official repo, by Alberto Gonzalez Iniesta,
starting from openvpn_2.1~rc20-2
o Gentoo official portage tree, by Marcel Pennewiss:
- https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=287896
o Ubuntu package, by Bernhard Schmidt:
- https://launchpad.net/~berni/+archive/ipv6/+packages
o Freetz.org, milestone freetz-1.2
- http://trac.freetz.org/milestone/freetz-1.2
* Status:
o OK:
- upd6,tcp6: GNU/Linux, win32, openbsd-4.7, freebsd-8.1
- udp4->upd6,tcp4->tcp6 (ipv4/6 mapped): GNU/Linux
(gives a warning on local!=remote proto matching)
o NOT:
- win32: tcp4->tcp6 (ipv4/6 mapped) fails w/connection refused
o NOT tested:
- mgmt console
* Build setup:
./configure --enable-ipv6 (by default)
* Usage:
For IPv6 just specify "-p upd6" an proper IPv6 hostnames, adapting the example
from man page ...
On may:
openvpn --proto udp6 --remote <june_IPv6_addr> --dev tun1 \
--ifconfig 10.4.0.1 10.4.0.2 --verb 5 --secret key
On june:
openvpn --proto udp6 --remote <may_IPv6_addr> --dev tun1 \
--ifconfig 10.4.0.2 10.4.0.1 --verb 5 --secret key
Same for --proto tcp6-client, tcp6-server.
* Main code changes summary:
- socket.h: New struct openvpn_sockaddr type that holds sockaddrs and pktinfo,
(here I omitted #ifdef USE_PF_xxxx, see socket.h )
struct openvpn_sockaddr {
union {
struct sockaddr sa;
struct sockaddr_in in;
struct sockaddr_in6 in6;
} addr;
};
struct link_socket_addr
{
struct openvpn_sockaddr local;
struct openvpn_sockaddr remote;
struct openvpn_sockaddr actual;
};
PRO: allows simple type overloading: local.addr.sa, local.addr.in, local.addr.in6 ... etc
(also local.pi.in and local.pi.in6)
- several function prototypes moved from sockaddr_in to openvpn_sockaddr
- several new sockaddr functions needed to "generalize" AF_xxxx operations:
addr_copy(), addr_zero(), ...etc
proto_is_udp(), proto_is_dgram(), proto_is_net()
