IPv6 Firewall rules - TL-R605 v1 1.1.1
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Starting to play around with IPv6 and it all works so fare very well... although I'm curious if I can find somewhere in the controller settings to adjust/manage firewall rules for IPv6.
Currently ports and services are exposed to the Internet via IPv6, of course I can do host based firewalls, but preferably do it on the router for the whole LAN.
To decrease the attack surface, I currently disabled IPv6 and enable it only when I play around with it.

Dear @paderijk, @m.fessler, @SuperUserOne, @ldev, @sgo, @Probi,
Thanks for your continuous attention to this thread. Sorry that it seems the firmware for supporting IPv6 Firewall rule has been postponed, we haven't been informed when the new firmware that supports IPv6 Firewall rules will get ready to release yet.
According to the past release order, I would expect that the Omada Controller v5.9 would support IPv6 configuration first, and then the Omada Gateway would release the firmware to support IPv6 firewall rules in the year. As for whether the updated firmware would be for both v1 and v2 on the ER605, I will try and provide an update for you when we get a notice of the firmware release for the IPv6 firewall feature, or when we get our hands on the new firmware for trial.
Any news on this issue? The need for IPv6 is growing.

Hello @Gigawebs
Controller 5.9 has added the IPv6 ACL for Omada EAPs and Switches. I think the IPv6 ACL for Omada Routers like ER605 V2 might be added soon in the next Controller version. Sorry that I don't have further information right now, will try to provide an update when there is more came out.

Seems like there is no update on the IPv6 firewall implementation which is quite frustrating.
Not sure why TP link lacks behind some of basic functions which comes as a default on many other vendor equipments.

@lezz It seams that TP-Link is following some OtherThread. Omada won't Matter.

@paderijk It looks like IPv6 firewall on the ER605v1 is not in the new Beta firmware. Surprise.

@Fae the ER605v1 needs IPv6 firewall support in order to be even considered a "business router". Right now it's just a toy and the advertised claims are straying into legal territory.
