SSL Remote Access VPN and IPv6

Hello,

I have my UTM 9.404 box setup for the remote access SSL VPN.  This works fine with IPv6 turned off.  However I would like to enable IPv6 (NOT FOR THE VPN) so that I can begin to leverage the expanded IP space for devices in my home.  However as soon as I get it all up and running the VPN breaks - I can connect but nothing routes.  If I switch IPv6 back off then the VPN starts working like it should.  I found this article (and tried the bottom 2 things) but it's still not working.  The first suggestion I am unable to do since both the IPv4 and ipV6 address on my WAN port are from DHCP.  

Just to make it clear I DO NOT care about using IPv6 on the SSL VPN but I don't see any way to disable it there.  Any advice would be appreciated.  I would rather not disable IPv6 globally just to get the VPN to work.

Thanks,

Dan

  • This just started happening to me, in this case on iOS using the OpenVPN client. The first time the vpn client connects to the vpn server (on a new IP) it works fine, the connection details show ipv4 ip and port..all is good. The second time around though, it somehow connects via ipv6, not even sure how....but once it connects via ipv6, I can't access any resources behind the VPN....any help?

     

    BTW, although it is apparent that my IPv4 addresses somehow have an IPv6 counterparts, I do not have ipv6 enabled anywhere in my UTM

  • Way to hijack my thread.  :(  My issue was never solved.  And it had nothing to do with IOS.  And it only happened with IPv6 enabled in the UTM.  So really your issue is in no way related.   ?????

  • Hi Dan,

    IPv6 enable can you please show me where do you enable this? I will try to test the scenario but, prerequisites will be:

    1. Upgrade your UTM on the latest version.

    2. Which iOS version and device.

    3. Which VPN client and version (latest preferred)

    Thanks

  • Hi Sachin,

    If you look through the original thread you will see it has nothing to do with iOS.  Kent hijacked it with a presumable unrelated issue.  Back in August I was running the latest version of the UTM and both the official client and a stock OpenVPN client fail to function with IPv6 enabled on the UTM.  I haven't tried it since as no solution was provided and I need VPN more than I need IPv6.

    Thanks,

    Dan
