I am trying to achieve working IPv6 internet connection through PPTP VPN connection (from Windows 7 to RouterOS), but “public” (e.g. not local-link) IPv6 address is not assigned to client.
I have Mikrotik router with RouterOS (version 5 rc at home, which has native IPv6 connectivity to internet. I have /48 scope assigned. At work, I have Windows 7 computer with only IPv4 connectivity (and company’s firewall-limited internet connectivity). So my idea was to create VPN connection to my home router and I hoped, that I will be able to configure RouterOS to assign public IPv6 address to VPN client.
I tried to use PPTP (I want to try SSTP additionally), but Windows 7 client has only link-local IPv6 address assigned, not public.
I also tried to specify IPv6 scope for PPTP interface, but it is not possible (error 6).
I choose PPTP (or SSTP, but it is only available in Windows 7 while my friends/parents use mostly Windows XP), because I plan to use such mechanism for any computer, which has no IPv6 connectivity (this computer at work is only testing case) and PPTP VPN is working in most cases and is easy to configure on client side (in Windows)…
Please can you help me? Is it possible to do this with actual RouterOS version? Will be possible to do this with “final” IPv6 RouterOS implementation? Or, is it suitable idea/mechanism at all?
Many thanks, with remote-ipv6-prefix, Windows 7 “received” public IPv6 adress.
Please, is it somehow possible to define (in RouterOS) default IPv6 gateway for this VPN connection? By ipconfig /all, there is no default gateway for this VPN at all (no IPv4 default gateway, no IPv6 default gateway) and also network mask is set to 255.255.255.255 (which is incorrect I think)…
But I noticed that correct route from IPv6 Pool is present and it points towards VPN interface on mikrotik, but the VPN client has only link-local address (tried on OSX and Windows 7 PPTP/L2TP clients).
Google brings me here. I met the same problem - PPTP-client on Win7 doesn’t get address from ipv6-prefix setted in PPP secret (nor in general ipv6 addresses).
But all it works just fine then I set ipv6 address on client (within prefix range) and global prefix length like 0 or 3. In the case gateway route is added through interface. Hope that’ll help someone.
