I have been using the 7800 very successfully for some years now with a home mail server on my fixed IPv4 address with NAT to my server.
I now additionally have IPv6 access and a /64 block of addresses all of my own!
NAT no longer required of course on IPv6 but how do I allow incoming traffic for port 80 (for my web-mail) and all the other usual ports for the mail server? I assume all incoming traffic is blocked by default?
I have already set-up an AAAA record for the mail server's fixed IPv6 address (just 1 of the 2^64 addresses I have at my disposal).
Anyone can walk me through the firewall set-up? I want to still retain the IPv4 access as well.

Can you confirm the full firmware version and model (we have a range of 7800 models)PlanetX wrote: ↑Sun Jan 06, 2019 5:23 pm I have been using the 7800 very successfully for some years now with a home mail server on my fixed IPv4 address with NAT to my server.

This is the model without built-in WiFi.
Thanks!

Re: IPv6 Firewall settings
Try using the 'Firewall >> Packet Filter' to open port 80 to your IPv6 address (you can change the 'IP Version' to IPv6 and add a rule just like a IPv4 rule)
