ipv4 over ipv6 tunnel, will it possible?

Open jahtim opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

the fact is:

  1. many of us have public ipv6 address but not public ipv4 address
  2. many games/apps only support ipv4 so build a virtual ipv4 net by using ipv6 is a better solution https://techhub.hpe.com/eginfolib/networking/docs/routers/vsr1000/cg/5200-3156_l3-ip-svcs_cg/content/478552213.htm 图片

will it possible?

Currently, n2n only supports IPv4 as "transport media".

However, we plan to add IPv6 support. It already has been prepared in internal data structures such as n2n_sock, it just needs more coding to it. So yes, I expect it to be possible one day.

We are not aware of anyone doing new development work on this project. That being said, IPv6 support is a key feature planned for the next release of n3n (See https://github.com/n42n/n3n/issues/21 for the enhancement ticket)
