It's definitely not ideal (blocking end-to-end routing defeats a lot of the point of IPv6) but i understand the security POV. It is straightforward to change, about the same complexity as forwarding a port was on IPv4 (click around in web ui for a minute or two).
The router is an AVM FritzBox 7340, the ISP is Snap (New Zealand).
I have no idea if this setting is common or not for IPv6 deployments.
- simoncion 13y agoThank you very much for the information. I, too understand why that would be the default configuration. It's very good to hear that it's not a pain to change. Do you know if you can set that FritzBox up to just act as a DSL->Ethernet bridge and pass through packets to another device that does all the routing? (Sorry if that doesn't make sense. I'm not a professional network nerd, so my terminology might be confused.)
