IPad – Accessing an ipv6 NAT64 connection on the iPad, broadcast from Mac

internet-sharingipadipv6wifi

I'm trying to follow this tutorial on how to setup an ipv6 wi-fi connection, so I can test my app:

http://www.brianjcoleman.com/tutorial-how-to-test-your-app-for-ipv6-compatibility/

If I don't tick the "Created NAT64 Network", it works fine (and I can connect and use the wi-fi connection from my iPad). However, as soon as I tick that box I don't get anything (says "No Internet Connection" when trying to access from the iPad)

Setting it up with this works fine, but its on an ipv4 address:

Enabling NAT64 works, and shows the connection on the iPad, BUT there is no connection:

Here are the software versions of my iPad:

The Mac is running on 10.12.1, so should be a high enough version to do this.

I did the same a couple of days ago to control my app for ipv6 (even if I didn’t need to do so), you should also switch off WiFi on you router / modem and you need to switch on the airplane mode on you iPad. Mind that in the latest version of Xcode your app must be compiled for ipv6 automatically.
