[LEDE-DEV] firewall/ip6tables problem

Hi,

the same issue does occur, if I open a port by a rule in /etc/config/firewall:

config rule
	option name 'Allow SSH Inbound'
	option src 'wan'
	option proto 'tcp'
	option dest_port '22'
	option target 'ACCEPT'
	option family 'ipv6'

Port 22 is open, if I execute port scan from outside to the lan ipv6 address.

Regards,
Hartmut
