IPV6 pin hole capability?
So first time poster (mercy please) here, as my ole Verizon FIOS router died. I purchased and setup a Netgear NightHawk AX3000 4-Stream WiFi6 Router RAX36S (with a firmware version of V1.0.4.46). ...

I've never seen any pin holing (yes I did go down a rabbit hole after your message) on any of the consumer netgear equipment. I've not been on the business side of things so I can't attest to those. Most users just use the port forwarding option that you've had to be currently using.
And with pin holing tending to be an enterprise feature, you might look towards more business class equipment if that's a feature you're wanting/needing.

Have you or anyone else had a chance to look into why IPV6 pin holing on my nighthawk rotuer is not a thing? I'm glad I was able to explain what other capabilities raspberry pi microcomputers have to you, but I was hoping you had a suggestion on an option I was missing?
I guess I could always just buy another Verizon FIOS router as I know it had the capability.

Thank you for the support, your time and verification of features and functions available to me using my new Netgear router. While I would like the IPV6 port forwarding/pin-holing functionality, I can do without it as the only thing I was using it for before was to allow people to connect to my raspberry pi hosting the TOR relay via IPV6.
I do like having much more control over my router then what I had with the Verizon one.
Thank you again!
