VPN Server over IPv6

Do we need to create explicit rules in order to allow access to the local lan from a Wiregard VPN server? I used to have an ISP where I had a public IPv4. Now I only have a IPv6 public address. On ip4 it always worked and I don’t recall having to do anything rule wise, but with a vpb server via IPv6 I’m connected be can’t get to any local devices or browse the internet through it.

  Are you sure your VPN client is connected? do you see a "notification" when the connection happens?

  If you look at the VPN server configuration, does it finish configuration? and your VPN profile is using the new ipv6 address? see https://help.firewalla.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004274633-Firewalla-VPN-Server#h_4151e472-a50a-4d01-ae62-98eba99bcd58

  VPN profile is showing same IP6 as the router IP6 and it shows “complete”. I had a couple notifications but who know maybe I forgot to disable wifi on my phone. ISP says nothing on their end would stop it, I have a public IP6, but I feel like it’s something IP6 preventing connection.

  Source testing device is on US Cell/tmobile with ip6 as well.

  I’m sure I’m missing something or there’s something on cellular side preventing it.

  if you are getting the notification, then your tunnel to home is active. 

  If you have a PC running the same profile, try to ping the firewalla IP (gateway) and see if it respond.  Use the ipv4 address.
