Hi there,

is it planed to support IPv6 in the firewall? If yes, when would it be available? Or is it available and i cant see it?
At moment we have to run damnit iptables on every machine too
 
Maybe you could switch to nftables. Seems to be stable, and Debian-devs recommend to use it...
 
Not sure what features you have in mind, but there are definitely areas where nftables surpass iptables (simplified dual-stack config, update speed, multiple targets, native set/map, etc)...
 
Support for hostnames in general. Proxmox firewall didn't support hostnames from dynamic DNS Services as example.

I think it can be done, using aliases, and a cron script which run each minute, do a dns lookup and update the ip of the alias.

(BTW, IPV6 firewall is fully supported in proxmox since v4)
