nginx ipv6 reverse proxy not working

[cloudsense]

Hi,

opnsense has ipv6 ip address.
ping to this IP works fine.

nginx is listening on ipv6 .. .so curl "https://[::1]:8443" returns the website just fine

from the firewall, i have      v6:443 ->  ::1:8443 forwarded.  This is exactly the same as v4 forward which works fine.

When I do https://v6:443/ , from tcpdump I see that the packets are reaching the firewall and the port ,but it does not get forwarded to ::1:8443 and there is nothing more in tcdump or nginx logs or in firewall logs.  Same for port 80 forwarding.

Looks like the  requests comes to (WAN) v6:443 and disappears from there.

The behaviour is the same with firewall disabled "pfctl -d "

Can someone provide me pointers on how to fix/troubleshoot this ?


Many thanks
