No ipv6 support / not working? about advanced-policy-firewall HOT 6 OPEN

I can proof that IPv6 support isn't working on my side, which can be seen here: https://puu.sh/AaeFn.png

This sounded interesting so I googled and found this config which lists the USE_IPV6 option: https://github.com/rfxn/advanced-policy-firewall/blob/master/files/conf.apf but that conf file states it is for APF 1.7.5

I am running the apf version installed via Debian apt-get install and the conf file says: APF 9.7 [[email protected]] and contains no entry for USE_IPV6 at all

Now I am wondering how these two versions are related and whether I should manually install apf-firewall to get the latest version.

and on top of that, the README says that USE_IPV6 was added back in 2014 => https://www.rfxn.com/appdocs/CHANGELOG.apf

• 1.7.5 | Feb 4th 2014:
  [New] added USE_IPV6 configuration option for enabling/disabling IPv6 support/rule creation

so what ancient version am I running?

@ovizii The packages Debian (And Ubuntu) provide are very out of date, I recommend pulling this git repo and then using the install.sh script to install the most recent version with proper IPv6 support.

So I'm having a similar issue, running the latest version, but when I put an IPv6 address in allow.apf, APF treats it like I'm opening up a port according to /var/log/apf_log.

I've tried xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx::xxxx as well as [xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx::xxxx] for the format, but no such luck.

can you try this?
