Under Consideration IPv6 Firewall Configuration on AX73

Hi there,
I have just bought the Archer AX73 and everything was great, until I tried to access my IPv6 server from the outside although I could access other IPv6 websites.
It turns out that there is (maybe) a hidden firewall that block all incoming IPv6 requests by default that I simply can't disable. I did try to disable something called "SPI Firewall" and even set "DMZ" for the server but the problem still persist.
I'd like to see a firmware update in the future that enable us to add exceptions to this hidden IPv6 firewall, instead of blocking all incoming requests. Is it possible?
Thank you.
Great! @Kevin_Z, I'm glad to hear that the Dev team is currently working on the on/off switch of the problematic IPv6 firewall.
Sidestory, part of the reasons why I replaced my ISP's router (with AX73) because there was no IPv6 Firewall at all 
. After the replacement, I realize the AX73 is the complete opposite 
.
Thus, it would be even nicer if the the IPv6 Firewall can allow manually configured port(s) and IP(s) (just like IPv4 Port Forwarding) to pass-through instead of on/off switch, block everything or not blocking at all. This strategy, I believe, can have the best of both worlds, security and accessibility. It is already implemented in the Deco M5 that I'm using as an AP, so I hope to see it on the main router AX73 too!
Other than that, the rest of the device are perfect so far, please keep up with the good work, TP-Link. 
Great suggestion, I would certainly forward it to the Dev team for serious consideration also. Thank you very much again.
