ip6tables no target CT

ip6tables no target CT

[Nick Edwards]

HI,
 I still have this issue, I checked the kernel build, and everything
under ipv6 except ipv6nat is enabled, yet the CT target fails.

This same rule on ipv4 works
  iptables 1.4.20 on kernel 3.10.10

ip6tables -v -A PREROUTING -t raw -m multiport -p tcp --dports
6667,8888,16667 -j CT --helper irc

CT  tcp opt    in * out *  ::/0  -> ::/0   multiport dports
6667,8888,16667 CT helper irc
ip6tables: No chain/target/match by that name.

incase it was multi upsetting it, also tried

ip6tables -v -A PREROUTING -t raw -p tcp --dport 6667 -j CT --helper irc
CT  tcp opt    in * out *  ::/0  -> ::/0   tcp dpt:6667 CT helper irc
ip6tables: No chain/target/match by that name.

any suggestions?

It seems we never had IPv6 support for the irc helper. You've been the
first one to notice.
