The Gluon Tunneldigger protocol handler hasn't received the care and attention a core package, especially a VPN protocol, should.

Due to the works in #2102 it's no longer required to maintain VPN handlers in the Gluon Core and they can be instead included via a package feed.

Users who wish to continue using a supported core Gluon package are encouraged to take a look at fastd in conjunction with it's null@l2tp method. It offers roughly the same performance (it's using the same principle of operation) and supports connections via IPv6 as a bonus.

In general it should be possible to change the VPN used protocol asynchronously with a normal update.

If Gluon users wish to continue using tunneldigger the recomendation is to participate in the development of tunneldigger inside our community-packages: freifunk-gluon/community-packages#77


Don't merge this before v2023.2.x has been branched of.
