Orbi RKB853 ipv6 firewall
Hey all, Our iSP recently enabled ipv6, and it's all working. I get ipv6 on WAN, and LAN, but I'm missing some info regarding Firewall and public reachability. As there are no ipv6 filtering ...
Prior to and during V3.2.17.12 IPv6 was solid and stable. After the next update i have had nothing but problems with obtaining a WAN connection and if and when I do, it doesn't last long.
I verified on my ISP router and it's there and strong. The only difference in the UI setups is that the CL Router has an option to select Stateful or Stateless. It needs to be set at Stateless. Suppoedly the Orbi FW defaults to "Stateless", great that's what's needed. But I notice issues started when the WAN IPv6 Address no long appeared at the top under the first WAN text line as the LAN appears under the LAN. I can't fathom why change wass necessary.
(again displaying ignorance....)
What are the symptoms of this IPv6 issue?
Do IPv6 DNS queries no longer resolve?
Can devices no longer connect to IPv6 hosts on the internet?
How would I detect if my Orbi exhibits the same behavior?
This post began with a question about whether devices on the LAN were secure from the internet over IPv6, so I'm pretty certain that access into the LAN is not the issue.
Yeah, I have no issues at all. Even with enabling ipv6, all works great. I even run multiple test servers for work at home. An entire testlab with windows and linux servers. All ok.
But just becuase of that I wanted to look at possibilities to make some public over ipv6 instead of ipv4 port forwarding. But no ipv6 firewall at all.
