tinc - Feb 2017 - Is it possible to block ipv6 auto configuration entering the tinc tunnel?

Hi
thank you for looking in to this. I haven't tried it before now. I cant get
it to work.

after running the commands you suggest I get this when I run ip6tables
--list-rules

root at JOTVPN:~# ip6tables --list-rules
-P INPUT ACCEPT
-P FORWARD ACCEPT
-P OUTPUT ACCEPT
-A FORWARD -i vpn -p ipv6-icmp -m icmp6 --icmpv6-type 133 -j DROP
-A FORWARD -o vpn -p ipv6-icmp -m icmp6 --icmpv6-type 134 -j DROP


Do you have any other ideas?
Thanks for your help!

Best Regards,

Håvard Rabbe

Im using tinc to bridge networks together. And im using ebtables to block dhcp
traffic for ipv4 on each node in tinc. One of my nodes have recently began using
ipv6. The isp is using auto configuration to give out ipv6 addresses. The
problem is that every computer in my bridged network is getting ipv6 addresses
from that node.
The other computers behind the other nodes have no use for ipv6 addresses it
gets through the tinc tunnel.

Is there a way to block ipv6 auto configuration traffic entering the tinc tunnel
on each node?

You should be able to block those packets in the FORWARD chain. IPv6
autoconfiguration is done using ICMPv6 packets with types 133 and 134,
see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neighbor_Discovery_Protocol. So do
something like:

ip6tables -A FORWARD -i <vpn interface> -p icmpv6 --icmpv6-type 133 -j
DROP
ip6tables -A FORWARD -o <vpn interface> -p icmpv6 --icmpv6-type 134 -j
DROP

It could be I have the direction of the ICMP messages wrong. Try adding:

ip6tables -A FORWARD -o vpn -p ipv6-icmp -m icmp6 --icmpv6-type 133 -j DROP
ip6tables -A FORWARD -i vpn -p ipv6-icmp -m icmp6 --icmpv6-type 134 -j DROP

hi
It was not working when i applied the rules on the vpn card. But I wondered if
maybe bridging of vpn and eth0 was messing this up. I thought it was enough to
only apply it to the vpn card

root at JOTVPN:~# brctl show
bridge name bridge id STP enabled    interfaces
bridge 8000.000c29638a7e no           eth0
                                                                  vpn

so I tried the rules you sent me on the bridge card an now it works. But why is
not both rules applied on outgoing traffic? 

Thank you so much for your help to get this working :-)

Best Regards,

Håvard Rabbe
