does anyone use their AC68U in IPv6

[philmiami]

not 6rd or whatever but plain/native IPv6
If so how do you have it setup?
IPv6 firewall is a joke from what I read. I read that IPv6 in not routable, so the firewall is just "fluff" and not like deep packet inspection or SPI and their is no need for NAT.
Anyway I want to use it because here my Comcast gives it to you and we get straight IPv6, not tunneled over IPv4.
When I did have it on my iMac's picked it up right away and gave themself a IPv6 address.
Can someone take a screen shot of their setup that works and is good and secure?
Also any comments if someone has learned it the same way as learning layer 2/3,etc.
I honestly forgot all that since I don't do it anymore, haven't done it for >12 years...not a complete n00b, just it's not like riding a bike, at least for me.

BTW, I'm the one who developed the IPv6 firewall that Asus are using, so I can tell you it's far from fluff. It's the complete opposite of what you said: IPv6, contrary to NATted IPv4, is routed. When your ISP delegates a /64 to you, that whole /64 gets routed to your LAN. Without a firewall, the whole LAN gets exposed.

I don't know where you read that, but is not accurate on any "ipv6 to home users" implementation I've seen.

All ISPs that are implementing ipv6 are giving you a /64 and they are routing it to you. Routed, no NAT no fancy things.
So you are very much exposing every single equipment that supports ipv6 from your home network to the wild internet!
Firewall it's a MUST in this case! Either firewall on every single device or, far most simple, on your router.
