Linux Router with VPN on a Raspberry Pi (IPv6)
I have split this off the main article Linux Router with VPN on a Raspberry Pi IPv6 implementation requires a few changes to the initial article to work. I haven't duplicated everything here however, just the stuff that relates to IPv6.
Introduction
IPv6 introduces a number of new complexities into our network. If you've completed previous IPv4 only guide Linux Router with VPN on a Raspberry Pi then read on.
Your VPN provider may only offers you a single stack connection (no IPv6). You won't be able to implement IPv6 addressing on VLAN 3 to carry your IPv6 traffic out of the VPN. If your ISP gives you IPv6 addressing you may still implement addressing on VLAN2 to carry traffic directly to your ISP. In this example I do both.
If you don't know much about IPv6 then these pages might be of interest to get you up to speed.
- Linux IPv6 HOWTO (en) - in particular the "basics" and "address types".
- IPv6
- IPv6 Address
- Prefix delegation we use this with dhcpcd when doing DHCPv6-PD to inform our ISP of our network devices.
- Neighbor Discovery Protocol we use this with radvd to distribute our routes.
- Internet Control Message Protocol version 6 ICMPv6 differs from ICMPv4 and is used for many critical parts of IPv6 infrastructure.
- IPv6-test.com Useful for diagnosing if IPv6 is working.
Enabling IPv6 support
Assuming you're using the Alpine Linux kernel, IPv6 support is available separately as a module.
modprobe ipv6
To add the module to our startup configuration.
echo "ipv6" >> /etc/modules
/etc/sysctl.d/local.conf
Modify the sysctl section to include IPv6 support:
# Controls IP packet forwarding net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1 # Needed to use fwmark net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter = 2 # http://vk5tu.livejournal.com/37206.html # What's this special value "2"? Originally the value was "1", but this # disabled autoconfiguration on all interfaces. That is, you couldn't appear # to be a router on some interfaces and appear to be a host on other # interfaces. But that's exactly the mental model of a ADSL router. # Controls IP packet forwarding net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding = 2 net.ipv6.conf.default.forwarding = 2 # Accept Router Advertisments net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_ra = 2 net.ipv6.conf.default.accept_ra = 2 # We are a router so disable temporary addresses net.ipv6.conf.all.use_tempaddr = 0 net.ipv6.conf.default.use_tempaddr = 0
/etc/network/interfaces
Add an IPv6 interface for each VLAN. Note we don't need to add one for VLAN2 because dhcpcd will take care of that for us using our ISPs router advertisements. Also note the . (dot notation) represents a VLAN interface where as : (colon notation) used in the previous article represented an IP address aliased on an interface.
The reason we need VLANs here is because each VLAN has it's own broadcast and we don't want our router advertisements to be putting routes and addresses on all the interfaces. It also helps us with a more secure design, but requires a managed switch.
# VLAN 2 - DESTINED FOR ISP
auto eth0.2
iface eth0.2 inet static
address 192.168.2.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.2.255
post-up /etc/network/fwmark_rules
# VLAN 3 - DESTINED FOR VPN
auto eth0.3
iface eth0.3 inet static
address 192.168.3.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.3.255
iface eth0.3 inet6 static
address fde4:8dba:82e1:fff3::1
netmask 64

# VLAN 4 - LAN ONLY
auto eth0.4
iface eth0.4 inet static
address 192.168.4.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.4.255

iface eth0.4 inet6 static
address fde4:8dba:82e1:fff4::1
netmask 64
autoconf 0
accept_ra 0
privext 0
Configuring PPP
Next up we need to configure our router to be able to dial a PPP connection with our modem.
See PPP, you will want to make sure you set your WAN interface, in this example we used eth1.
Check system log
Restart ppp.
poff yourISP
pon yourISP
In /var/log/messages you should see something like
pppd[]: Plugin rp-pppoe.so loaded. pppd[]: RP-PPPoE plugin version 3.8p compiled against pppd 2.4.7 pppd[]: pppd 2.4.7 started by root, uid 0 pppd[]: PPP session is 49969 pppd[]: Connected to 00:53:00:ff:ff:f0 via interface eth1 pppd[]: Using interface ppp0 pppd[]: Connect: ppp0 <--> eth1 pppd[]: CHAP authentication succeeded pppd[]: CHAP authentication succeeded pppd[]: peer from calling number 00:53:00:FF:FF:F0 authorized pppd[]: local LL address fe80::0db8:ffff:ffff:fff1 pppd[]: remote LL address fe80::0db8:ffff:ffff:fff0 pppd[]: local IP address 192.0.2.1 pppd[]: remote IP address 192.0.2.0 pppd[]: primary DNS address 192.0.2.10 pppd[]: secondary DNS address 192.0.2.20
You should be able to now ping things such as
ping6 ipv6.google.com
from your router.
Prefix Delegation
The next step will be to configure DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation with your ISP. Install dhcpcd. While many guides do use the wide-dhcpv6-client it should be noted this is unmaintained and not included in Alpine Linux.
Don't use the ISC's dhclient either as this does not support Prefix Delegations on PPP links without a patch.
apk add dhcpcd
You can check out the manual for dhcpcd.conf. Installing dhcpcd-doc will allow you to read the man file. Eg:
apk add dhcpcd-doc
/etc/dhcpcd.conf
apk add dhcpcd
If the main repositories have dhcpcd below version 7.0.7 (at time of writing AlpineLinux 3.8 and below) you will need to use the latest version from edge as it fixes a bug with unique link local addresses on our VLANs dhcpcd ChangeLog this patch already applied in v7.0.7
apk add dhcpcd@edge
If you haven't you may need to add the edge repository for pinning Alpine Linux package management#Repository_pinning
# Enable extra debugging

Configuring iptables for IPv4 and IPv6 traffic
iptables
Here are some rules for iptables that I am currently using, yours may look something similar.

Add ip6tables to the default run level:
rc-update add ip6tables default
Router Advertisements
Now we need to configure radvd to give router advertisements to out VLANs for addressing and routing.
apk add radvd
Once radvd is installed, you may configure it:
/etc/radvd.conf
interface eth0.2 {
# We are sending advertisements (route)
AdvSendAdvert on;
# When set, host use the administered (stateful) protocol
# for address autoconfiguration. The use of this flag is
# described in RFC 4862
AdvManagedFlag on;
# When set, host use the administered (stateful) protocol
# for address autoconfiguration. For other (non-address)
# information.
# The use of this flag is described in RFC 4862
AdvOtherConfigFlag on;
# Suggested Maximum Transmission setting for using the
# Hurricane Electric Tunnel Broker.
# AdvLinkMTU 1480;
# We have native Dual Stack IPv6 so we can use the regular MTU
# http://blogs.cisco.com/enterprise/ipv6-mtu-gotchas-and-other-icmp-issues
AdvLinkMTU 1500;
prefix ::/64 {
AdvOnLink on;
AdvAutonomous on; ## SLAAC based on EUI
AdvRouterAddr on;
};
};
interface eth0.3 {
AdvSendAdvert on;
AdvManagedFlag on;
AdvOtherConfigFlag on;
AdvLinkMTU 1500;
# Helps the route not get lost when on WiFi with packet loss
MaxRtrAdvInterval 30;
AdvDefaultLifetime 9000;
prefix fde4:8dba:82e1:fff3::/64 {
AdvOnLink on;
AdvAutonomous on; ## SLAAC based on EUI
};
};
Add radvd to the default run level:
rc-update add radvd default
DHCP
You may decide you want more control over your network address assignment. I like to have certain hosts get certain addresses when they connect on a particular VLAN, note v2 and v3. You can do this with:

For IPv6 I don't use DHCPv6 because Android doesn't support it. I just let SLAAC assign addresses.
VPN Tunnel VLAN3
Install the necessary packages:
apk add openvpn iproute2 iputils
/etc/modules
You'll want to add the tun module
tun
/etc/iproute2/rt_tables
Add the two routing tables to the bottom of rt_tables. It should look something like this:
# # reserved values # 255 local 254 main 253 default 0 unspec # # local # #1 inr.ruhep 1 ISP 2 VPN 3 LAN
/etc/network/fwmark_rules
In this file we want to put the fwmark rules and set the correct priorities.
#!/bin/sh # Normal packets to go direct out WAN /sbin/ip rule add fwmark 1 table ISP prio 100 /sbin/ip -6 rule add fwmark 1 table ISP prio 100 # Put packets destined into VPN when VPN is up /sbin/ip rule add fwmark 2 table VPN prio 200 /sbin/ip -6 rule add fwmark 2 table VPN prio 200 # Prevent packets from being routed out when VPN is down. # This prevents packets from falling back to the main table # that has a priority of 32766 /sbin/ip rule add prohibit fwmark 2 prio 300 /sbin/ip -6 rule add prohibit fwmark 2 prio 300
/etc/network/route_LAN
#!/bin/sh # # This script adds the LAN routes. # # Add routes from ISP to LAN /sbin/ip route add 192.168.2.0/24 dev eth0.2 table LAN # Add route from VPN to LAN /sbin/ip route add 192.168.3.0/24 dev eth0.3 table LAN # Add route from LAN to it's own table /sbin/ip route add 192.168.4.0/24 dev eth0.4 table LAN
/etc/ppp/ip-up
Next up we want to create the routes that should be run when PPP comes online. There are special hooks we can use in ip-up and ip-down to refer to the IP address, ppp man file - Scripts You can also read about them in your man file if you have ppp-doc installed.
#!/bin/sh
#
# This script is run by pppd when there's a successful ppp connection.
#
# Flush out any old rules that might be there
/sbin/ip route flush table ISP
# Add route to table from subnets on LAN
/sbin/ip route add 192.168.2.0/24 dev eth0.2 table ISP
/sbin/ip route add 192.168.3.0/24 dev eth0.3 table ISP
# Add route from IP given by ISP to the table
/sbin/ip rule add from ${IPREMOTE} table ISP prio 100
# Add a default route
/sbin/ip route add table ISP default via ${IPREMOTE} dev ${IFNAME}
# Add route to LAN subnet
/sbin/ip route add 192.168.4.0/24 dev eth0.4 table ISP
/etc/ppp/ip-down
#!/bin/sh
#
# This script is run by pppd after the connection has ended.
#
# Delete the rules when we take the interface down
/sbin/ip rule del from ${IPREMOTE} table ISP prio 100
/etc/openvpn/route-up-fwmark.sh
OpenVPN needs similar routing scripts and it also has it's own special hooks that allow you to specify particular values. A full list is here OpenVPN man file - Environmental Variables
#!/bin/sh
#
# This script is run by OpenVPN when there's a successful VPN connection.
#
# Flush out any old rules that might be there
/sbin/ip route flush table VPN
# Add route to table from 192.168.3.0/24 subnet on LAN
/sbin/ip route add 192.168.3.0/24 dev eth0.3 table VPN
/sbin/ip -6 route add fde4:8dba:82e1:fff3::/64 dev eth0.3 table VPN
# Add route from VPN interface IP to the VPN table
/sbin/ip rule add from ${ifconfig_local} table VPN prio 200
/sbin/ip -6 rule add from fde4:8dba:82e1:fff3::/64 table VPN prio 200
# Add a default route
/sbin/ip route add default via ${ifconfig_local} dev ${dev} table VPN
/sbin/ip -6 route add default dev tun0 table VPN
# Add route to LAN only subnet
/sbin/ip route add 192.168.4.0/24 dev eth0.4 table VPN
# Add route to IP on VPN for traffic originating from the router
/sbin/ip route add 172.16.32.1 dev tun0
/etc/openvpn/route-down-fwmark.sh
#!/bin/sh
#
# This script is run by OpenVPN after the connection has ended
#
# Delete the rules when we take the interface down
/sbin/ip rule del from ${ifconfig_local} table VPN prio 200
/sbin/ip -6 rule del from fde4:8dba:82e1:fff3::/64 table VPN prio 200
# Delete route to IP on VPN for traffic originating from the router
/sbin/ip route del 172.16.32.1 dev tun0
OpenVPN Routing
Usually when you connect with OpenVPN the remote VPN server will push routes down to your system. We don't want this as we still want to be able to access the internet without the VPN. We have also created our own routes that we want to use earlier in this guide.
You'll need to add this to the bottom of your OpenVPN configuration file:
# Prevents default gateway from being set on the default routing table route-noexec # Allows route-up script to be executed script-security 2 # Calls custom shell script after connection to add necessary routes route-up /etc/openvpn/route-up-fwmark.sh route-pre-down /etc/openvpn/route-pre-down-fwmark.sh
My VPNs are arranged like this in /etc/openvpn:
OpenVPN configuration file for that server:
countrycode.serverNumber.openvpn.conf
OpenVPN certs for that server:
countrycode.serverNumber.openvpn/countrycode.serverNumber.openvpn.crt countrycode.serverNumber.openvpn/countrycode.serverNumber.openvpn.key countrycode.serverNumber.openvpn/myKey.crt countrycode.serverNumber.openvpn/myKey.key
So I use this helpful script to automate the process of changing between servers:
#!/bin/sh
vpn_server_filename=$1
rm /etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf
ln -s $vpn_server_filename /etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf
chown -R openvpn:openvpn /etc/openvpn
chmod -R a=-rwx,u=+rX /etc/openvpn
chmod u=x /etc/openvpn/*.sh*
if grep -Fxq "#CustomStuffHere" openvpn.conf
then
echo "Not adding custom routes, this server has been used previously"
else
echo "Adding custom route rules"
cat <<EOF >> /etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf
#CustomStuffHere
# Prevents default gateway from being set on the default routing table
route-noexec
# Allows route-up script to be executed
script-security 2
# Calls custom shell script after connection to add necessary routes
route-up /etc/openvpn/route-up-fwmark.sh
route-pre-down /etc/openvpn/route-pre-down-fwmark.sh
# Logging of OpenVPN to file
#log /etc/openvpn/openvpn.log
EOF
fi
echo "Remember to set BitTorrent port forward in your VPN control panel"
That way I can simply change between servers by running:
changevpn.sh countrycode.serverNumber.openvpn
and then restart openvpn. I am also reminded to put the port forward through on the VPN control panel so my BitTorrent client is connectable:
service openvpn restart
Finally add openvpn to the default run level
rc-update add openvpn default
