I had one user who had OpenVPN overriding the DNS resolver setting, which breaks NAT64 and in turn breaks everything else (including the VPN).
It will break NAT64 while the VPN is up, but it should not break the VPN itself (as the DNS settings *should* be restored when the VPN ends, and while it's up, it will not look at DNS).
What platform was this on, and which "gui bundle"? As mentioned, there's a few different versions floating around (2.1, 2.3+ and 3.0 code basis).
I think Marco is referring to a tweet I made, but I did not mean to say that the VPN breaks. It does not. It's just the VPN pre-empts the DNS64, and since only specific (my) IPv4/IPv6 networks are pushed by the VPN, this means that I can no longer reach IPv4-only content on the internet (IPv4-only content in my own network works fine, through the VPN, and all IPv6 content is also fine - through the VPN for my own networks, or directly for the rest of the internet). I didn't try contacting the OpenVPN server through the NAT64 (native IPv6 in both the server and client end now), but I could try that as well. I don't expect it to fail though, so unless you hear anything to the contrary, assume it worked fine. Tore
