Wireguard ipv6 not working in openwrt

kingju · June 20, 2022, 6:19pm

i have setup a wireguard server on cloud with ipv6 support.
i have tested wireguard client directly using wireguard client software and both ipv4 and ipv6 works fine

i want to use it as wireguard client on openwrt.
my router got wireguard handshake but only ipv4 network can be accessed not ipv6.
my local ISP also has ipv6 and ipv6 works fine directly.
i can access ipv6 from openwrt ssh but not on LAN
it is only my router having this issue

i want the LAN to have both ipv4 and ipv6 access

please help

not sure but I think you may need public, not private FD..::, addresses to be globally reachable ...

Where?

Your local Wireguard interface doesn't even possess a public IPv6 address.

You've only setup your OpenWrt to reach your peer on an IPv6 address thru the tunnel. I should also note that won't work unless you have a valid IP on the OpenWrt and place a route on the peer.

You cannot use dynamic IP addressing for Wireguard. So if you're referring to wan6 as you source of IPv6 addresses, that won't work

kingju · June 21, 2022, 10:13am

this is my wireguard conf file.
i tried directly on windows, android etc.. i am able to access both ipv4 & ipv6 network easily.

i am having this issue only on openwrt.
wireguard assigns local ipv6 ip fddd:2c4:2c4:2c4::3/64 for the interface
while the access endpoint is public ipv6 2406:da18:74b:2c00:8459:84d3:d347:c02b

[Interface]
Address = 10.7.0.3/24, fddd:2c4:2c4:2c4::3/64
DNS = 1.1.1.1, 1.0.0.1
PrivateKey = kMc0kgbJ5vIgM/DWUUpQAJoxhYB/b+MhLIWFz2jnM2w=

[Peer]

PresharedKey = jRULsQwIvCjdN2eBR8/4VSog3HvwzXGQpcJOFnQDDr4=
AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0, ::/0
Endpoint = [2406:da18:74b:2c00:8459:84d3:d347:c02b]:41211
PersistentKeepalive = 25
root@ip-172-26-5-219:/home/ubuntu#

i am using lightsail instance for running wireguard server
https://lightsail.aws.amazon.com/ls/docs/en_us/articles/amazon-lightsail-enable-disable-ipv6

I was not able to access wan6 directly earlier, hence to make lan access ipv6 i had to set openwrt in ipv6 relay mode
but the problem is i dont know how to make it work when wireguard comes in between

lleachii · June 21, 2022, 11:41am

???

You need a Public IP.

???

I see no Wireguard Public IP. It appears you're connecting to the tunnel on wan6. That's the only IPv6 I see.

trendy · June 21, 2022, 1:35pm

wan6 has a /64 address and no delegated prefix. If you are connected to an upstream ISP router verify that it can delegate a prefix. Otherwise you can use ipv6 relay.

kingju · June 26, 2022, 7:05am

my isp give only one /64 per customer, which makes it impossible to subnet.
so i will use ipv6 relay for WAN6 on openwrt

and for wireguard with AWS cloud instance, they don't provide /48 ipv6 subnet, hence cannot act as a upstream router.
this was just for my learning purpose, i tried a 6in4 tunnel and it worked

thanks for your help
