IPv6

hi there,
I have already built my own firewall with monowall, IPv6 works well. But when I enable Captive Portal, I found all IPv6 traffic are blocked, I even cannot ping LAN interface. Is there any way for me to solve this problem? If Captive Portal is not compatible with IPv6, can I make it work only on IPv4 and pass all IPv6 traffic? Thanks a lot!

Captive portal doesn't support IPv6 yet I'm afraid.

hi,
I know Captive Portal doesn't support IPv6 at this time, but in my opinion, "doesn't support" means make no side-effect on other things, it should not work on IPv6 and it also should not break currently well-worked modules.
However, I found a solution for this problem, just run

Code:

ipfw -q add 00001 allow ipv6 from any to any

in exec.php . This will pass all  ipv6 traffic throw the IPFW.

I hope you can add this patch for Captive Portal

The only side effect is it breaks ipv6, which it doesn't support ?

yes, that command may look like a work around, but for captive portal to correctly support ipv6, it should be able to work for ipv6 only hosts, not just dual stacked.  Therefore more work needs to be done to allow open ipv6 ports for the address assignment, name resolution and the portal to function etc.

that command you implemented allows all hosts on your portal full access to ipv6, even if not authorized etc.

Yes, I know that. At least, this command make Captive Portal work only on IPv4 and pass all IPv6 traffic instead of banned it.
