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).
So the question, on the Verizon FIOS router it had an option called IPV6 pin hole, where I could allow any IPV6 address access to a system (a raspberry pi) on my private network over TCP port 9001 in this case.
Within the AX3000 RAX36S router's Advanced Setup drop down under Port Forwarding I was able to allow any IPV4 address access to this system (which has both an IPV4 and IPV6 address) over the port mentioned above. But I don't see an option to do this for IPV6 addresses?
While still under the router's Advanced Setup going to the drop down under IPV6 my internet connection type is "auto detect" which returned the connection type of 6to4 Tunnel. I noticed under both the WAN and IPV6 setting sections there is a filtering option with the choices of Open or Secure, changing one or the other or both doesn't seem to let me do the IPV6 pin holing I am trying to accomplish.
Am I missing something or is there currently no way with this router to allow the forwarding of a single port if the IP used is IPv6?
Thank you for the response. I use numerous raspberry pi devices on my internal network. While I do use one of them as a pi-hole, the need for the IPV6 pin holing aka: in computer networking, a firewall pinhole is a port that is not protected by a firewall to allow a particular application to gain access to a service on a host in the network protected by the firewall (or router), for my TOR relay that I have hosted for years. The TOR relay (running on one of my other raspberry pi devices) is currently accepting inbound traffic over the TCP port for IPV4 traffic due to the port forwarding rule I put into place on the router. However, I don't see anywhere I can put add a pinhole for IPV6 traffic.
I also host a transmission server (on another raspberry pi device) which I was able to again do IPV4 port forwarding on via the router. The ISC DShield honeypot I run on another raspberry pi device didn't need port forwarding as I put the system in as my DMZ host.
Anyways, BLUF I have a TOR relay running on a raspberry pi that I would like to have IPV6 traffic from the internet forwarded to the device over a single port, but I can't see to find the IVP6 option, which was available on my old Verizon router. I found the option to allow this traffic to this device for IPV4.
Any follow up input from you or others in this forum is appreiated.
