   Then I agree, it's surprising you don't have any obvious settings that would   
   include IPv6. If it is indeed mentioned anywhere, it may start with enabling   
   it prior to it showing you all of the other settings.

   That's exactly what I said with "blogs about they themselves using it". ;)

   Odd that they boast that they're using it for all of their services, but don't   
   include it in their product. It seems IPFire 3 "is a major rewrite of IPFire   
   2" and "is at a very early stage of development and there is no definite   
   release date, yet." Which also includes "Full-Stack IPv6 Support". That's a   
   bummer, and kinda wayu behind the times seeing as though most other routers   
   (including store bought) already fully support it.

   No worries, at least the interest in looking into it is (kinda) there, now!   
      
   First step would be to see if it is even there from the ISP, with the   
   possibility of IPFire blocking it from reaching the rest of your network.
