Using VPN and a IPv6

Hey there,

I've got a little problem with the new VPN option. First of all - thank you very much for that. It's a great idea. My problem is that the VPN gateway has got the same IP as the ipv6 tunnel server (216.66.80.30). So if I connect to the vpn, a new route is added to send every packet to 216.66.80.30 over the old non-vpn-channel, while every other packet uses the vpn tunnel as a gateway route. But now the packets to the v6-gateway (216.66.80.30 again) are sent using the non-vpn connection; that of course breaks v6 connectivity.

How can I solve this? :-) Thanks!

You have to set up a policy route to force packets coming from your VPN endpoint get routed down the tunnel.  That process is discussed in another thread: http://www.tunnelbroker.net/forums/index.php?topic=951.0
