LTE IPv6, default firewall broken

asgdfgfew23 · 2022-03-19T00:30:55.850Z

I enabled IPv6 from the modem interface, router says it got IPv6 address, but IPv6 is not routable

I tried both cdc-wdm0 and ttyUSB3, both have the same issue (got IPv6 address, provided IPv6 to LAN, but IPv6 is not routable / failing neighbor discovery on default gateway)

from SSH

This is indeed a firewall issue

I did ip6tables -I INPUT -j ACCEPT and IPv6 on the router started working right away,
after ip6tables -I FORWARD -j ACCEPT, IPv6 on LAN started working

default zone_wan_forward chain is not matching anything

This is clearly broken IPv6 firewall rules by default

also please add iptables / ip6tables physdev module, this is crucial for IPv6 firewall since for v6 WAN and LAN are effectively bridged.
