I noticed something interesting the other day.  If you are a typical home 
user with cable or DSL Internet service, and your provider gives you 
native IPv6 addresses and you desire to firewall the devices on your home 
network; since IPv6 is not using NAT, every device behind your router 
gets a unique IP address, so you basically have to either close down all 
IPv6 ports at the main router, OR open all IPv6 ports at the router, and 
then run a software firewall on each device on the network!  This is not 
practical or possible on many devices (gaming consoles, smart phones, IoT 
devices, etc).

I can prove this by opening and closing the IPv6 firewall settings on my 
provider's router.  It's different with IPv4 of course.  With IPv4, you 
only have one IP address for ALL the devices on your network.  So you can 
setup the firewall to forward specific ports, and then setup services on 
individual devices using those ports.

The point of this post, and my question, is there any consumer grade 
router available that allows you to manage IPv6 ports on a device basis, 
such as by individual IP or MAC address?  There must be, otherwise how 
can devices using IPv6 ever be effectively firewalled?  If you want to 
expose only certain services over IPv6 (SSH for example) on one device in 
your network, how do you do this with consumer grade routers?
