IPv6 Firewall
Folks, had this device a few years and am very happy with it. I have not enabled firewall merely depending on its router functions of only allowing IN traffic related to an outgoing connection.
As my internet is now behind CGNAT my port redirection is non functional so I have enabled IPv6 - currently no IPv6 firewall enabled. In this state I assume nothing is exposed to the internet.
If I enable IPv6 firewall and Allow the packets not specified by any filtering rules to passthrough this device does that mean any servers are open to the internet?

IPv6 Firewall protects your IPv6 network by preventing access from the internet. However, when you are hosting a service, such as a file sharing server in your local network, you can choose to allow access to the server from the internet by adding entries on this page. This feature is available only when you’ve set up an IPv6 connection.
Did you set up the information from the screenshots below? Did you set up any detailed rules?
It is suggested to read P84-P88 in the User Guide to know more.
