Some OS (Windows for example) have an option to create multiple global IPv6 addresses to support a level of privacy for the user. These can be seen as 'temporary' addresses when you invoke the ipconfig /all command. Unfortunately this can cause issues with BiglyBT IPv6 routing when there is an IPv6 firewall in place - you may well have configured it to accept incoming connections to BiglyBT but if the OS decides to route the BiglyBT traffic through an alternative temporary IPv6 address then this routing will not work.
BiglyBT will attempt to detect this situation from version 2101_B18 onwards and raise an alert. To resolve the issue you can either explicitly bind BiglyBT to the IPv6 address that you want it to use or alternatively disable the temporary IPv6 address generation within the OS itself.
You can disable the detection of this in BiglyBT via the 'Advanced Network Settings' options.
