Webserver on IPv6

I recently bought this router and I use a webserver on ipv6 address. but now I use this router, I cannot access it. I have filtering on open but still doesnt work. I can ping the ipv6 but not access any ports!

 

Any idea?

  • Usual questions.

     

    What firmware is it running on?

     

    What modem/gateway/optical network termination (ONT) connects it to the Internet?

    Cannot access what? The webserver or the router?

      Router Firmware Version V1.0.1.90
      GP1007X

      From Public, I can only ping the ipv6 address, not access any ports. I've read even on here its not possible to access any ports on IPv6, which seems somewhat useless.

  • Perhaps it would be helpful to understand the configuration that was working correctly before purchasing the Netgear RS200 router.

    • What platform is the web server running on? (Windows, Mac, Linux?)
    • What brand/model of router was being used?
    • Was a DNS process being used to learn the public IPv6 address of the web server, or is the public IPv6 address entered manually into web browsers?
    • What web browsers were able to access the web server?
