hello, i have my VPS with ipv4 and ipv6, i can surf using the ipv4, but is there a config or someone could make it work to use both?? ( ipv4 and ipv6)

of course, on my pc, is only ipv4.

there are software like SofthEter or OpenVPN, but i want to know if just using the simple PPTP server.

  • So you want to make a PPTP VPN server that also functions as a IPv6 over IPv4 tunnel?

    You won't be able to have a complete IPv6 translated into IPv4. That's not possible (deprecated NAT-PT). If you want to keep your computer IPv4-only your only chance is to set-up a web-proxy. However, other content than surfing the web won't be ipv6-enabled.

    What you can do, however, is to use your computer IPv6-only and have all IPv4-traffic translated into IPv6 (NAT64).

    Besides that, every 6to4-tunnel also requires your computer to understand IPv6 (dual-stack). However, the IPv6-packets are encapsulated into IPv4-packets (tunnel) between your computer (endpoint) and the tunnel-broker (startpoint) to be transported (tunneled) over IPv4-only networks. Since both extract the IPv6-addresses from the IPv4-packet, they need to understand IPv6 and IPv4. Only the network in-between can be IPv4-only.
