Port Forwarding for IPv6 not working
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
My ISP has native IPv6 support and I wanted to expose some services to the public. Currently, I have port forwarding set up and working for IPv4 address. However, I was not able to get port forwarding working with IPv6.
I have tried disabling firewall and putting the machine in DMZ, and none of them worked.
Is there any way to get port forwarding on IPv6 working with this router?

Hello,
As far as I know, there is no need to open the port for the LAN server in IPv6 network as it will not work, there is an IPv6 firewall on the AX1500 router which blocks the external access to the server automatically to protect your internal network and ensure its security.
Currently, there is no way to disable that firewall. We will see how to improve this in the future.
Thanks.

@Kevin_Z Another user here, using an AX10 device recently acquired. I just found out about this hardcoded firewall rule preventing my server behind the router NAT from being reachable via IPv6. Very disappointed. The device was advertised as IPv6-ready and I don't think anyone today would dare to call their device "IPv4-ready" if it had no support for something as basic as port forwarding. Yet when it comes to IPv6 this is clearly not considered. Please fix this in the near future!
