Wireguard IPv6 support
Hi,
I would like to request the addition of IPv6 support for WireGuard.
IPv6 adoption has increased significantly, doubling from 2020 to 2024, and now reaches approximately 75% in countries like Germany and France [1].
Notably, most fiber and cable connections in Germany are now behind Carrier-Grade NAT (CG-NAT), making it impossible to establish a VPN connection without IPv6 support.
To overcome this limitation, I have had to deploy a consumer-grade router (AVM Fritz!Box) in front of my professional Omada setup to facilitate VPN connectivity—an approach that undermines the efficiency and intent of a professional networking environment.
Implementing IPv6 support in WireGuard would greatly enhance its usability in regions with extensive CG-NAT implementation, streamlining secure connections for many users.

here Ubiquiti seems to have it in early access. https://community.ui.com/questions/Feature-Request-IPv6-support-in-UniFi-WireGuard-VPN-configuration/29ef190f-87e9-4d08-8d91-237449ccdd1c?reply=11
I have seen on Reddit that some people are having a great experience, and are currently using it. I do not have that system personally but it seems to be one of the big features that they are adding.

TP-Link has a pattern that's hard to unsee: community feedback sits ignored for months, sometimes years — until a competitor ships the feature. Suddenly it's being "forwarded to the team."
That tells me everything about who's actually driving their roadmap. It's not their users. It's their competitors.
So why should I choose TP-Link in the first place?

Thanks for your long-standing attention to TP-Link and for taking the time to engage in such thoughtful discussions with us regarding product development
We keep a close eye on industry trends and our competitors' developments, which is standard for market-oriented companies. When a competitor launches a feature, it often serves as an important market validation signal, helping us reassess the feature’s user adoption, technical maturity, and market urgency. This may prompt us to adjust the priority of an existing plan and accelerate its development. This is not merely “being driven by competitors” but rather making more agile and responsible decisions based on comprehensive market insights.
