I cannot ping6 out from my Debian machine (Jessie) running in VirtualBox using ping6 ipv6.google.com command. I am, however, able to ping IPv6 addresses on my LAN with ping6.

My ISP has IPv6 and my WAN IP address is IPv6.

I have an Apple Airport router which I just upgraded the firmware on. Router mode is "DHCP and NAT." Its "Configure IPv6" is set to "Automatically." Its "IPv6 Mode" is set to "Native." The "Enable IPv6 Connection Sharing" setting is ticked (on).

On VirtualBox, the network adapter is enabled and "Attached to" a "Bridged Adapter." The "Name" is "en1: Wi-Fi (AirPort)."

This issue is causing problems for me because I cannot apt-get update anything from Debian's security server at http://security.debian.org/ which uses an IPv6 address.

There was a "Block incoming IPv6" connections setting on the Airport router. Turning this off fixed the problem. It's under "Network" -> "Network Options" in the Airport router utility.
