Using a public IPv6 transport network allows omitting server-side masquerading. A small subnet is sufficient (e.g. /112 or /120). Each tunnel in the environment will be assigned a single IP from that subnet. Again, a default IPv6 client route (::/0) must be configured.

IPv6 Setup

By default, Bondix utilizes a randomized link-local IPv6 address range (fe80::/3) as a transport network between the server and client router. This provides basic IPv6 communication, but further configuration is required to enable full IPv6 internet connectivity for both the router and its clients.

Option 1: Double Masquerading

To enable IPv6 masquerading on the server, you need to specify a masquerading IP in the environment settings. Ensure that the tunnel configuration includes a default client route for IPv6 (::/0), which can be found in the tunnel routing settings. Additionally, change the IPv6 transport network from link-local to a private address range (e.g., fdXX::/48), as link-local networks (fe80::/10) are not supported for masquerading.

Client-side, the following requirements must be met:

  • The router's LAN must be configured with a private IPv6 network.
  • The router must masquerade outbound IPv6 traffic using its transport IP.

Option 2: Use a Public IPv6 Transport Network

Using a public IPv6 network as a transport network

Using a public IPv6 transport network simplifies configuration by removing the need for server-side masquerading. A small subnet, such as /112 or /120, is sufficient for each tunnel in the environment, and each tunnel will be assigned a single IP from that subnet. A default client route for IPv6 (::/0) must be configured.

Client-side, the same requirements as in Option 1 apply:

  • The router's LAN must be configured with a private IPv6 network.
  • The router must masquerade IPv6 traffic using its transport IP.

Option 3: Route a Public IPv6 Network Through the Tunnel

Public IPv6 routing

For full IPv6 routing, the server must be configured with a public IPv6 network as a server route, and a default client route (::/0) must be added for client traffic.

Client-side, the following requirements apply:

  • The router's LAN must be assigned the routed public IPv6 network.
  • Firewall settings must allow IP forwarding to and from the Bondix interface.

Teltonika

Teltonika routers do not support static IPv6 address assignment for the LAN interface via the web interface. Use the following commands instead: 

uci add_list network.lan.ip6addr='2a01:XXXXXXXXXX::1/96'
uci commit
/etc/init.d/network restart

To remove the configured IP address, use: 

uci del_list network.lan.ip6addr='2a01:XXXXXXXX::1/96'
uci commit
/etc/init.d/network restart
Manual IPv6 configuration in OpenWr

OpenWrt

For OpenWRT, manually assign an IPv6 address to the LAN interface, do not configure a gateway.

Connected Devices

For connected devices, you can manually assign IPv6 addresses using the router’s IPv6 address as the gateway. Additionally, ensure that devices use an IPv6 DNS server.
