IPv6 traffic monitoring follows different logic in different monitoring modes:
Router Mode
IPv6 will be turned on automatically on WAN and LAN networks. You can edit the IPv6 connection type or turn it on/off in Network Manager (Box main screen -> Network -> tap Edit on the top right corner -> Tap any Network -> Scroll down to find IPv6). If you are using multiple WANs, only one WAN interface will be used for IPv6 delegation.
Once IPv6 is turned on and IPv6 traffic is detected, Firewalla will monitor IPv6 traffic just like IPv4 traffic.
DHCP Mode
IPv6 traffic will not be monitored by Firewalla in DHCP mode. We highly recommend you turn off DHCPv6 on your router if the box is running in DHCP mode, so all traffic in your network can be monitored and controlled by Firewalla.
Simple Mode
If IPv6 traffic is detected, Firewalla will be able to monitor the traffic. IPv6 traffic monitoring is turned off by default, you can manually turn it on.
To turn it on/off in Simple mode, tap More on your box's main page, tap Mode, find IPv6 Traffic Monitoring under the monitoring mode, and tap the switch button to configure.

As of 17th December 2019, does Firewalla beta support IPv6 while in DHCP mode?
Any update about DHCP and IPv6?
Any news about ipv6 monitor on blue+ in DHCP mode?
We need IPv6 in DHCP mode! There are already plenty of users that need to rely on public IPv6 address not getting IPv4 anymore.
Same for Wireguard/VPN.
