IPv6 Routes and support in general
Hello.
Today, the IPv6 support is missing a lot of features :
- There are no way to see the IPv6 routes (the Insights->Routing Table page on the controller only shows IPv4 ones) (high priority)
- There are no ways to define custom IPv6 routes (on the Transmission->Routing page) (high priority)
- When enabled, the DNS server only listen on the IPv4 address of the gateway (it should listen to both IPv4 and IPv6)
- VPN servers only support IPv4 protocol (L2TP, OpenVPN, Wireguard at least)
- I think the application control feature completely ignores IPv6 traffic ? (to be confirmed?)
It would be awesome to have feature parity between IPv4 and IPv6 (or as close as possible)
Thanks
IPv6 is 15 years old and is used for more than half of all Internet traffic. It is most heavily used by businesses and campuses and all major ISPs and Telcos. TP-Link Omada, especially the Gateway products, in my view, do not have adequate IPv6 support. Even the most simple things, like the IPv6 routing table, already exist on the hardware, but are hidden from the Omada management layer. IPv6 should be a priority if TP-Link wishes to keep Omada relevant past 2026.
A more serious problem is IPv6 currently appears to bypass and render inert most Omada security features, DNS Proxy and (as far as I can tell) Application Control, and possibly even IDS/IPS (to be confirmed) are all bypassed if IPv6 is enabled. Please correct me if I am wrong about any of those.
Could we ask that TP-Link make clear which Gateway features do or don't yet support IPv6? Maybe a table that TP-Link can update as some of the missing IPv6 support is added.
