Is there a way for dd-wrt to do port forwarding for ipv6 addresses?

I have a rule in my dd-wrt UI that successfully forwards traffic from a port on the router to a port on a server in my LAN. However, this seems to only work using ipv4. (The rule is set up using ipv4 addresses.) When I try to access that same port on the router using ipv6 addresses, the forwarding fails.

This is a bit of a nuisance, as whether the port forwarding succeeds depends on whether the client machine is using ipv6 or not.

Is there any way to address this issue?

Thanks,

DR

With IPv6, each node have a Public address. There is no port forwarding. Just access the client with it's address directly.

Open a hole in the firewall to get access from the WAN using ip6tables.

ip6tables -I FORWARD -i `get_wanface` -d [2001:abcd:abcd::100] -p tcp -port 80 -J ACCEPT
