      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A47       MSGID: 1:229/664 d03e5621       REPLY: 2:5005/49 601639c2       TZUTC: -0500       On 31 Jan 2021, Victor Sudakov said the following...                VS> I have been always of the opinion that port forwarding is never needed        VS> in IPv6 because no NAT is ever involved (and port forwarding is part of        VS> the destination NAT technology). If you had IPv6 port forwarding (in the        VS> IPv4 way) on some device, please surprise me!              That's how the settings were worded on my old Google OnHubs. It was port       "port forwarding" for IPv4 and "port opening" for IPv6. Everything       unsolicited for incoming IPv6 is blocked unless you "opened" the port.               VS> It is also difficult to believe that a fancy router does not have a        VS> built-in IPv6 firewall (if a firewall is meant by "port opening").              I agree! There are no firewall rules to be found on this interface and any       "port forwarding" or "port triggering" settings are for IPv4 only. It would       appear that the router is blocking all unsolicited incoming IPv6 traffic,       which is actually a good thing, but I'm surprised there's no way to allow       certain ports on this router yet.                     Jay              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 2021/01/30 (Raspberry Pi/32)        * Origin: Northern Realms (1:229/664)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 105/81 120/340 123/131 226/30 227/702 229/424       SEEN-BY: 229/426 550 664 1016 240/5832 249/206 317 400 317/3 322/757       SEEN-BY: 342/200 633/280       PATH: 229/664 426           |
