Orbi50 IPv6 OpenVPN accessible?
Dear community, since I have a new fiber broadband access to the internet I did not try to use my OpenVPN from the Orbi anymore, because the new ISP only provides my router an IPv6 adresses with ...
My guess regarding IPv6 access to the OpenVPN Server bundled with Netgear routers is, "no".
Found articles talking about IPv6 traffic going "through the tunnel", but this one was pretty specific:

There is no user control of the OpenVPN settings that would allow the user to change any of the settings described in this article.
Thank you for your feedback. I read a few articles about other OpenVPN integrations with IPv6. When I started working on this I was expecting that the configuration of the VPN may not be IPv6 compatible.
I will try if I can map/enable public ports on IPv6. If this is possible I could host a wireguard service. Otherwise I will switch to my fallback solution and use a VPS as my VPN and connect all required devices to it.
