Currently the IPv6 firewall allow one to open a port to a IPv6 address, sorta like IPv4 port forwarding works.

The issue is that in IPv6 client IPs are much more dynamic.

I would like the option to leave the IP space blank so that port is simply allowed inbound no matter the IP.

You could if so desired also add a popup that warns that this would allow connection to all devices to connect to this port or something if you felt it needed.


Use case, Games (and other apps/deivces) may need or benifit from accetping conenctions on a patiular port, but the client IP changes offten making the need to update the firewall entry constantly.

ISP rotates IPv6 addresses, so need to constantly edit this rule, which makes this feature (IPv6 incoming connectivity) useless!
