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.
