Does anyone have a full guide on how to host a web server behind a Starlink connection?
I manage to host web servers on IPv4 connections but I am pretty lost with IPv6. I don't want to use a VPS or anything external.
My Starlink router is in bypass mode and I use a TP-Link AX3000 router
- I have disabled the TP-Link router firewall
- I have enabled IPv6 address in the router settings
- I host a webserver (nginx) on my laptop and can access the page (on
http://[::1]
). No HTTPS set-up for the moment
- I have disable ufw on my laptop
- I have set-up a AAAA record on No-IP with the IPv6 address I get from https://test-ipv6.com/
It's not working!
Which IPv6 address am I supposed to provide on No-IP, the one of my router or my laptop?!
I also have multiple IPv6 adresses on my laptop, which one should be used and why?
2: wlp1s0: mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000

Does the TP Link router allow you to create rules in the firewall to open specific ports towards specific endpoints?
That’s how most routers do, but some only have a firewall on/off setting without the ability to create individual rules.
No! The IPv6 firewall cannot be disabled nor configured. This is why I returned it
If I look at that screenshot it looks like you can define specific rules? The only problem i see is that you’re using link-local (fe80:: address) as the Local IP, that should be the stable global one (2a0d:xxxx:3040).
