Miredo not starting now

When I first installed Miredo on my Tumbleweed system to access IPV6 places it worked. When I came to use it today I find that it fails to start.

systemctl status miredo-client.service 
**×** miredo-client.service - Miredo - Teredo IPv6 Tunneling Client For Unix 
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/miredo-client.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)

I tried modprobe tun but Miredo still fails with the same messages. There is an entry in /dev/net/tun but it has 0b size. Has anyone any ideas please?

Hi
I see here;


ls -la /dev/net/tun

crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 10, 200 Nov 25 16:38 /dev/net/tun

Do you see the same?

Yes identical apart from the date and time.

I just looked at the journal and found that I obviously rebooted on the 19th October probably following a zipper dup and it was working prior to reboot and failing following reboot and has not worked since. Looking at the zypp log archive I found

# 2021-10-19 10:07:00 miredo-client-1.2.6-4.1.x86_64.rpm installed ok
# Additional rpm output:
# Job for miredo-client.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
# See "systemctl status miredo-client.service" and "journalctl -xeu miredo-client.service" for details.
#

prior to this it worked.

PS. Just looked at the change log for miredo-client and the changes were to add hardening, so I’m guessing that could have caused it. Now to work out what to change!
