Win10 allow incoming ICMPv6 - firewall is behaving weirdly












0















I finally got it working but I'm a bit confused still.



Has anyone an idea why this approach (netsh) doesn't work on win10?
technet forum



netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="ICMP Allow incoming V6 echo request" protocol="icmpv6:8,any" dir=in action=allow


Because the GUI approach works (for some reason):
gui approach



The only obvious difference to me: the second approach doesn't include the firewall profile public, but that can't be the reason, right?



PS: If you want to test this as well, than you might have to allow ping6 in your router firewall as well (including your temporary ipv6 if you want tests like this one: http://www.ipv6-test.com/ to show "Reachable" instead of "ICMP filtered")
