  • You might be able to do mac address cloning for fiber ports, if you have openwrt or similar it usually offers it.

    A firewall may not offer full routing and NAT though for ipv4 devices, or wifi if you need it, or ipv6, or many other features. I’ve also used a cable modem and stuck the router in the dmz which essentially makes it a passthrough device also in the past

    Basically, play with it and good luck!


  • If you don’t have ipv6 internally, you probably can’t access ipv6 externally. 6to4 gateways are a thing. 4to6? Not so much.

    And this is why ipv6 will ultimately take another 20 years for full coverage. If it was more backwards compatible from the starting address-wise then this would all have been smoother. Should have stuck with point separators. Should have assumed zero padding for v4 style addresses rather than a prefix
