The code in 2.3.0 supersedes the IPv6 transport patches from JuanJo Ciarlante,
formerly located at http://github.com/jjo/openvpn-ipv6
+Android 2.4.0 includes a big overhaul of the IPv6 transport patches
+originally implemented for the Android client (ics-openvpn)
-Use the following options to select IPv6 transport:
+IPv4/IPv6 transport is automatically is selected when resolving addresses.
+Use a 6 or 4 suffix to force IPv6/IPv4:
--proto udp6
+ --proto tcp4
--proto tcp6-client
- --proto tcp6-server
+ --proto tcp4-server
--proto tcp6 --client / --proto tcp6 --server

On other systems, as of 2.3.0, you need to run separate server instances
