IPv6 and port forwarding to IPv4

Hi,

I would like to redirect all my 80/443 WAN6 trafic to my NAS. My NAS have a static lease in IPv4. Is it possible to redirect IPv6 to IPv4 ?

Best regards.

Port forwarding to a dynamic IPv6 address - #2 by vgaetera

Port forwarding cannot change the address family (IPv4 to IPv6).
If your NAS supports IPv6, go with the solution proposed by @vgaetera.
Otherwise, you need a proxy to translate the address family, or a VPN tunnel to transport IPv4 within IPv6.

Thanks

But, this is expose all my device...

Other solution can be to have IPv6 static lease and redirect from firewall ?

But I can't have static lease on IPv6. I have a static lease on 192.168.1.6 with IP suffix "6" but my IPv6 is fd20:6eec:6e47::938... It would must be fd20:6eec:6e47::6 ?

My configuration seam missing duid... But how choose the duid value ?

No, as long as you specify dest_port.

Yep, but NAT6 is a dirty hack which is best to avoid if possible.

Weird, it should work.
Make sure you have configured it properly, restarted odhcpd and reconnected the client.

Check the active leases:

ubus call dhcp ipv6leases

OK, thanks for the explications.

Now I have IPv6 lease on my server:

ifconfig eth0
eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
       inet 192.168.1.1  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 192.168.1.255

I ping6 and curl my webserver on internal adresse:

curl -6 -g -k https://[fd20:6eec:6e47::yyyy]

I have open route:

config rule
        option name '[HTTPs] Deepspace9'
        list proto 'tcp'
        option src 'wan'
        option dest 'lan'
        option dest_port '443'
        option target 'ACCEPT'
        option family 'ipv6'
        list dest_ip '2a01:e34:xxxx:xxxx::yyyy'

But I can't curl on public IPv6:

curl -6 -g -k https://[2a01:e34:xxxx:xxxx::yyyy]

Check this:

# Client

curl -6 -v public_ipv6

# Server
netstat -l -n -p | grep -e :443
ss -l -n -p | grep -e :443
curl -6 -v localhost

OK, use default rules called "Allow-ICMPv6-Input"

ping6 public_ipv6_of_server

KO :-(. Use default rule called "Allow-ICMPv6-Forward".

My iptables6 rules on the server:

But if I disable firewall (-A INPUT -j ACCEPT) all work fine...

For me issue is not in the OpenWRT component but in my IPv6 firewall on my server... But 80 et 443 rules seem OK...

Allow ICMPv6 from anywhere as IPv6 heavily relies on it.
Also, it's a bad idea to configure firewall manually from scratch unless you are an expert.
I recommend you to use higher level firewall management tools such as firewalld that generate the proper rule set by default.

I use OpenMediaVault, I setup firewall with the WebUI.

You can rely on iptables and ip6tables configs from Fedora.

Working with adding ICMP6.

THK !!!
