This code should work out-of-the-box on most Linux distributions and macOS.
It should also work on recent versions of Windows, but it depends on the OpenVPN NDIS 5 TAP driver (tested with `tap-windows-9.9.2_3`, not that there issues when using NDIS 6 driver as of `tap-windows-9.21.2`).
Be aware that connectivity issues can occur on Windows if multiple IPv6 addresses from the `fd00::/8` prefix are assigned to the TAP interface.
If this happens, then you may need to manually remove the old/unused addresses from the interface (though the code has a workaround in place to do this automatically in some cases).
You can also advertise a route on your LAN, enabling other devices to access the `fd00::/8` network, as shown in the optional example below.
