SoftEther VPN User Forum

Hi Guys!

I've installed a Softether VPN-Server and use it via OpenVPN. It all works fine but my IPv6 seems to leak. What can I do? With Pritunl I had no problem, I could just enable IPv6 to get the Server's IPv6.
But I need a VPN-Server where I can limit the bandwidth, Softether seems to be the only one with that option.

Could you give mit any help?

Thank you very much!

Are you talking about memory leak?

Could you please explain how to reproduce this behavior?

Or did you mean Dual stack leage in VPN??

Hi! Thanks for your answers!
I think it's the second one. I got a dual stack Internet connection and when I use the Softether VPN the IPv6 Traffic leaks.
If I use Pritunl (where I activate IPv6) then there is no Traffic leaking, it's just saying there is no IPv6 connection.
I've tried so much, working on this for weeks but can't get that done with Softether. Both use Open VPN.
That's the Pritunl login-log:

can u help me? Thank you!

With Softether its says "do_ifconfig, tt->did_ifconfig_ipv6_setup=0" not 1.
How can I change it? :/

hmm, I think
did_ifconfig_ipv6_setup=1
means it failed to setup ipv6

Also the next lines show that SE is failing to add ipv6 routes.

SE is just failing at creating necessarz steps for ipv6. This is acceptable.

Why do you think that the traffic is leaking?
Just to make sure, try to catch the traffic using wireshark while communicating with a website that is using ipv6

Hello Sironketchup,
maybe info provided here: https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/IPv6 will be of any help?
If you find any solutions, please, let us know.
Good Luck.

Please try L2 mode configuration.
