For this tutorial i will choose the native as my preferred ipv6 connection type. Of course upgrading servers to support ipv6 is an expensive and difficult fix.
Sophos Utm Ipv4 Ipv6 Issue Ipsec General Discussion
What is ipv6 passthrough. Click status to check whether you have successfully set up an ipv6 connection. Pas through seemed to work as it effectively also disabled ipv6. All ipv6 traffic over wifi is blocked and doesnt even reach the ea7500 router. If no address is acquired the field displays not available. My understanding is that passthrough means that the router does not look at the ipv6 header and operates as a l2 switch where it simply forwards the packet. Most vpns have been slow to accommodate this transition to ipv6 and update their server networks.
Click save and skip to step 6. Ipv6 will eventually replace ipv4. Windows users are recommended to choose from the first two types. Ipv4 is the current industry standard in tcpip networks today and is the de facto internet routing protocol. This field shows the ipv6 address that is acquired for the routers wan or internet interface. All ipv6 traffic over wired ethernet works fine.
Routers ipv6 address on wan. Ipv6 increases the ip address size from 32 bits to 128 bits to support more levels of addressing hierarchy. With ipv6 the customer should get a routed prefix 48 52 56 60 or 64 for example using dhcpv6 pd which doesnt require pass through or bridging. The following figure is an example of a successful pppoe. Asus has both an ipv4 and ipv6 firewall that is enabled by default. Wan automatic ip select passthrough as ipv6 connection type wan static ip select static static ipv6 as ipv6 connection type native profile was selected.
The number after the slash is the length of the prefix which is also indicated by the underline under the ipv6 address. Ok i discoverred that pass through actually does not work either and the issue is actually an ipv6 bug. The transition from ipv4 to ipv6 that is currently underway creates a big problem for most vpn services. I think ipv6 pass through means there is a bridge between the wan and the single lan. Fill in address prefix provided by your isp and click save. If pass through is needed for working ipv6 then i would say the isp has done something wrong.
