Asus firewall IPv6 rules for webserver etc

ndrp

Occasional Visitor
My IPv6 connection type is Native, DHCP-PD is enabled and my server has a public IPv6 address. I need to open port 80 for my webserver but I don't know how to define the destination address on my LAN side.

The guide https://www.asus.com/us/support/FAQ/1013638/ doesn't show how to bind the local IP to my server. I guess that my server's IPv6 address can change so I can't define static address for firewall settings.

How can I open port 80 for my webserver? I'm using Asus RT-N66U.
 
How can I do that if all IPv6 adresses are dynamic public adresses which are assigned by ISP? All LAN side IPv6 aresses are public.

They don’t have to be dynamic. DHCP-PD means you get a chunk of addresses from your ISP and you can statically assign them to your devices.

I don’t know the specifics for configurations on Asus though and can’t test because I don’t have access to IPv6.. :(
