#16919: Incoming IPv6 dropped by default
-------------------------+-------------------------------------
Reporter: jch@… | Owner: developers
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: Barrier Breaker (trunk)
Component: base system | Version: Trunk
Keywords: ipv6 |
-------------------------+-------------------------------------
By default, OpenWRT will discard incoming IPv6 connections. This is
pretty bad, since there's no way to work around this for a node -- there's
no UPnP for IPv6.
I'm currently working around this by doing the following in my firewall:
config rule
option name 'Incoming IPv6'
option enabled '1'
option target 'ACCEPT'
option family 'ipv6'
option src 'wan'
option dest 'lan'
option dest_port '32768-65535'
Doing something like that by default would protocols such as BitTorrent
and SIP suck less over IPv6.
