Dual WAN IPv6

zquestz

New Around Here
So, I noticed that Dual WAN failover works great, however if each WAN has different IPv6 settings, there is no way to fail over with functional IPv6 support.

Any chance a fix could be developed?

In my case, I need to use a Hurricane Electric 6in4 Tunnel for my primary WAN, but my secondary supports native IPv6.

When I fail over, IPv6 support breaks completely.

Thanks for looking at this, appreciate all the work you do on this excellent router firmware.

Unfortunately it's a limitation of the firmware, it only supports 1 WAN with IPv6 (Primary), I tried to come up with a way to do this when developing WAN Failover but any changes to IPv6 require service/router restarts so not viable.

Sometimes I will use this little script to make a client go through Wan1 for gaming, but It uses the Wan0 ipv6 address, and traffic still goes through Wan0. Been trying to google, is there anyway to disable ipv6 on that client when its switched?
Code:
#!/opt/bin/bash
if [[ "$1" == "on" ]]; then
        echo "Game ON...."
 ip rule add from 192.168.50.235 to all table 200 priority 150
fi
if [[ "$1" == "off" ]]; then
        echo "Game Off...."
 ip rule del from 192.168.50.235 to all table 200 priority 150
fi

I think i found the command that seems to be working:
ip6tables -I FORWARD -i br0 -m mac --mac-source (Mac Address) -j REJECT
