      You know…, IPv6 is a parallel system to IPv4. So ask your ISP to supply you IP in dual stack.

      And once that failed: :P

        Sure. But the future is native IPv6 so ask for it or IPv4.

          The "future" as seen here:

          Ask for IPv6, lose your IPv4 public IP, get behind CGN with a single dynamic /64. Thanks but no thanks. (Sincere greetings to O2 idiots).

            When I enable the "Allow IPv6" and "Enable IPv4 NAT encapsulation of IPv6 packets" options, which valid IPv6 address I should give to the firewall and which rule I should additional to the firewall to allow also the passage of IPv6 packets?

            Thanks

            Bye

              Uh. Start with your ISP, checking how they supply IPv6 (if at all).

                Note: My firewall hardware is connected to an ADSL router as my ADSL uses the PPPoA protocol.

                  WHY do you need IPv6 ?

                  IPv6 is meant as a public addressing system that you manage with inbound/outbound allowances.

                    Dude, the answer is still the same. Get to your ISP and bring us some info!!!

                      Because I have some programs that also use the IPv6 protocol.

                        Can you mention an example, a typical program that wants to go public while there is no public IPv6, but that will refuse to take the IPv4 instead ?

                        What brand-type of MoDem-Router/Switch do you have ?
                        Is your Internet Service Provider able to offer you IPv6 ?
