Martin If I understand your question correctly ... PC1 --------------------------IPV6 Gateway1
so you have a public ipv6 address on PC1 and Gateway 1 hostname.gif should specify the real ipv6 address of PC1 and the real IPv6 address of gateway1 in it to establish the tunnel #setup the tunnel interface with a command similar to the following ifconfig gif1 tunnel PC1-IPV6 Gateway1-IPV6 #setup an ip address (ipv4) on the gif tunnel ifconfig gif1 inet PC1-IPv4address/subnetmask and do the the gateway ifconfig gif1 tunnel Gateway1-IPV6 PC1-IPV6 setup gateway ipv4 address on tunnel interface you just cratesed ifconfig gif1 inet PC1-IPv4address/subnetmask then you just need to add a default IPv4 Route on the client to the gateway On Fri, 8 May 2020 at 20:05, Martin <martin...@protonmail.com> wrote: > > Last thing I have to understand about gif(4) and IPv6 tunneling. > > Should I set gif(4) 'inet6 alias' = the same IPv6 of the local end of IPv6 > tunnel interface or just set 'inet6 alias' for gif(4) in tunnel's IPv6 subnet? > > Martin > > ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ > On Friday, May 8, 2020 4:41 PM, Tom Smyth <tom.sm...@wirelessconnect.eu> > wrote: > > > Hi Martin, > > If I understand your question correctly > > > > you need 2 endpoints to the tunnel... > > > > for gif(4) or any gre((4) based tunnel > > you need the interface setup on both the client and the server (gateway) > > > > if you have a gateway serving multiple clients... then you need one > > interface per client that you intend to connect > > Thanks > > Tom Smyth > > > > On Fri, 8 May 2020 at 17:38, Martin martin...@protonmail.com wrote: > > > > > Thanks for confirmation. > > > Hope I understand gif(4) functionality right from its configuration.
