Hi
I have a router from my ISP at home, but I don't trust them with access to my network, so after it I have my own router, protecting my internal network. I don't have an option to use my own router as the first one, and the ISP router does not have bridge mode, so I'm stuck with double NAT.
With my previous ISP, I had no problems, but this one has a bug on their router's firmware that if we use custom IPv4 DNS (like google), it blocks all communication in port 53, so it effectively blocks all internet. The ISP promised to fix and to add bridge mode, but for now a workaround seems to be use IPv6, it does not seem to have this bug.
I tried to configure that on my router, but I'm stuck. My router has an IPv6 address assigned by the ISP router and my internal network has IPv6 assigned by my router to all devices. I can ping my router in IPv6, but from my router I can't access anything on IPv6, not even the ISP router. It always gives network unreachable.
I don't have experience on IPv6, so I'm guessing I missed something on my router. Can anyone help me?
My router has Openwrt / LEDE fork firmware installed.
