IPv6 - cannot connect from outside (even VPN)

2024-04-15 19:25:05

Tags: #VPN #IPv6 #WireGuard

Model: Archer AX55 Pro

Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version: 1.2.3 Build 20231103 rel.66045(4555)

I have a public IPv6 address, but non-public IPv4, therefore I wanted to access home services from outside via IPv6. I configured the WireGuard VPN server. If I connect from the home network, the VPN works, but I'm not able to connect from outside there. I enabled the ping from WAN and that works. Then I tried to connect to SSH of my home computer. I enabled the port 22 for IPv6 and my global home computer IPv6 address, but no success. Any idea what could be wrong? I'm connected via PPPoE. IPv6 connections from the home network to the world work.

Hi, Sorry to tell that TP-Link routers only support VPN server based on IPv4, not IPv6.

For your reference: VPN Server Is Not Working Properly on TP-Link Wi-Fi Routers

@Marvin_S Thanks for info, that's really sad as the VPN and IPv6 support was the main reasons to buy this router . But actually the IPv6 VPN connection works from the home network, so I guess there's just some firewall problem.

Any idea why even the port 22 doesn't work from outside for IPv6?
