      I have IPV6 set up and working, my ISP is Comcast and I'm using DHCP6 to get the WAN address and Track Interface WAN on the LAN interface.

      How do I create rules to allow traffic on some ports to reach LAN hosts?  I haven't found any way to make the IPV6 address assigned be deterministic.

        There is a way using DHCPv6 if you already know your PD addresses but may cause issues down the road if your ISP changes your PD range.

        I haven't try in a while but add rules to your LAN interface, nothing is needed is on your WAN interface if i remember correctly.
        try something like this:

        src - any
        dst - ipv6 of your host
        dst port - 80

          I know I can do this, but I'm looking for something that works properly even if a different prefix is assigned by the ISP.

              Can you just put them on different LANs or VLANs? Comcast will give you up to 16 /64 prefixes, so you could just put the "open" hosts in one (basically, a DMZ) and the locked down ones in another.
