Totally agree. The UX for IPv6 sucks. Every time I poke with it I get worried I'm exposing the guts of my internal network onto the internet. With NAT, at least I know nothing is getting in without me intentionally punching a hole. With IPv6 to do the same I have to go fiddle with the router's command line interface and rules by hand. And even then who knows if I fucked something up or missed something... its just a lot of work.

There is no web UI for managing IPv6 firewall rules but there is for IPv4. On the consumer grade routers I've touched there isn't even a way to configure the IPv6 firewall rules (and again, they all offer web UX for IPv4 rules).

The interface on the router provided by the UK's largest ISP is almost identical to the interface for IPv4 port forwarding: https://imgur.com/a/NXqwoA6
