Re: How to set up Port Forwarding
Sorry I assumed that you had ipv6 on your virgin media hub, if you do then you have to have an ipv6 to access ipv6 content. A way I went around this is using a domain name and using cloudflare proxy, but this is a solution mostly for webpage content. If you are on ipv6 and require access from ipv4 externally then you can contact Virgin media and explain that you need ipv410KViews0likes0CommentsRe: How to set up Port Forwarding
This is outdated information if you have a hub 5 and need ipv6 port forwarding this is how you do it: Basically, port forwarding for ipv6 is slightly different than ipv4. You are port forwarding not the routers ip but the ip of the actual device. What you have to do is... (example to open port 80 for a webpage on a local machine) go to your router settings Press "Advanced settings" Press "Security" Press "Ip and Port filtering? Press "Create a new rule" Leave options at "Inbound" "Enabled" "Yes" Select "UDP/TCP" protocol Select "Any" source Input your devices ipv6, if the ip is like Select "Any" Source port range (this might be possible to limit to specific ports, I am not 100% sure) Select "Manual" Destination port range and start "80" end "80" (*note for me selecting HTTP did not allow me to Add rule) Press "Add rule" *note if you want to access a webpage on ipv6 you have to put the ipv6 in square brackets like this... http://[ipv6]:portsIfAny. *note if your ipv6 is abc:efg:123:456:0:0:0:100 it can be written as 123:456::100 the zeros can be disregarded once per an ipv6.23KViews0likes0Comments
