Learn how to forward ports with firewalld for IPv4 and IPv6 destinations. 🕵🏻

After writing my last post on my IPv6 woes with my Pixel 3, some readers asked how I’m handling IPv6 on my router lately.

Although Time Warner Cable is now Spectrum and wide-dhcpv6 is quite old, this post is still what I’m using today (in 2019)!

Time Warner has gradually rolled out IPv6 connectivity to their Road Runner customers over the past couple of years and it started appearing on my home network earlier this year.

Forwarding X over ssh is normally fairly straightforward when you have the correct packages installed.

It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of the Routerboard devices and the RouterOS software from Mikrotik that runs on them.
