SmartWifi modem Giga IPv4 Port Forwarding

[agpedro]

Greetings,

Recently I got the SmartWifi modem Giga and it seems only IPv6 is supported and the firewall can't be configured to only allow certain IPs or ports, it blocks all inbound connections if it's enabled.

I want to expose some devices to the internet but not all networks support IPv6 which is troublesome for me because sometimes I can't access these devices. To expose a device to the internet I also have to disable the firewall entirely which exposes all my other devices.

Is it possible to have the port forwarding feature on my setup?

Best Regards,

A.P.

You do have an IPv4 address, but it is shared with others, so you cannot set a port forward.

Ziggo can give the modem IPv4 only.

This is a customer help customer forum where Ziggo moderators/employees, they have Ziggo in front of their name, usually drop by in every topic within one working day.

Yes, I didn't fully explain, I have IPv4 on outbound connections but my devices can only be accessed from outside of the network via their IPv6.

Hi @agpedro, welcome to our Ziggo Community! At @Bert give the right advice, i did request IPV4 only for you. Within 24 hours this will be activated and you should be able to do the port forwarding.
