How to allow ICMPv6 on Oracle Cloud?


I have allowed ICMP on IPv6 for my VPS in Oracle Cloud but still it dosen't work. I can access the internet through IPv6 also other incoming traffic such as http/https through IPv6 works. But I cannot figure out to get ICMP working through IPv6 without allowing all traffic through IPv6. PS: I have opened all ports through my Ubuntu iptables too. Here's the rule scrrenshot-ICMPv6 rule


Solution

  • This issue is connected with difference between IPv4 ICMP and IPv6 ICMP. To correctly set-up the rule, you need to use IPv6-ICMP IP protocol instead of typical ICMP (which is IPv4 only). Correct rule set-up is on this screenshot.
