[SOLVED] Openvpn and IPV6

It would help to have more information. I assume you want to connect with a GNU/Linux client from outside your home network to your FreedomBox, which is connected to your home router. I also assume the home router is NATing.

  1. Can you ping6 the IPv6 address of your router form outside? (don’t use the hostname to make sure it’s not a DNS problem)
  2. Can you reach the port that you forwarded on your router? (e.g. nc -vz <host> <port>)
  3. Does that connection reach your FreedomBox? (e.g. tcpdump)
  4. What does the OpenVPN log on both machines say? (journalctl -u NetworkManager)
