Since this morning I have IPv6. I can make outgoing IPv6 connection

I've never cared for the modem/router combos. I have my ISP disable the router
and use my own, with much more features and capabilities.
No evidence of that so far. ;)

Just for you I made a call to 221/6 with the FTTH IPv6 address. Check your log.

What type of physical link do you have?

Is it connected to a media converter with a SFP module, or?
1) In my case that is not an option at the moment. The modem/router combo they gave me does not support bridge mode.
2) Their network technology is relatively new (XSG-PON). A simple ONT that works with their network, so that I can bypass their hardware completely, is not available yet. So I am stuck with their modem/router.
3) Having said that: Even a provider supplied modem/router should support something basic as IPv6 pinholing. Especially if I am stuck with it.
4) Just for the record, incoming IPv6 works if I disable the firewall. I tested that. No need to say that permanently disabeling the firewall is not an option.
"Sometimes you need to directly contact your ISP, though, to have them
set your ISP-supplied router to bridge mode."
What is the model number? Maybe there's something else you could do
that wouldn't require you to open your wallet.
I looked up this XSG-PON and it seems to show some routers with 6 and
6E technology. Does yours have all this newer tech?
If so, I would fully agree that their supplied hardware should support IPv6 fully, not just basic.
