    Hi,


    I’m trying to run a small web server apache Linux at home so I can host my CV and some things like that.

    Normally when I had Eir I Just poet forwarded 80 to the IP addy of the raspberry pi.

    However it seems Virgin runs a dual stack v4/v6.

    Also it seems that only v6 “port filtering” is available. Which is weird as I thought poet forwarding wasn’t even a concept in v6.


    Anyway, does anyone know how I can possibly allow my raspberry pi (which has both a v4 and v6 public address) to respond to port 80 requests from the public internet?

    You will need to ask VM to disable DSLITE on your account and move you onto an IPv4 address before you can use port forwarding

    Don't mention that you want to run a webserver as its against their T&C
