For IPV6 to be whitelisted and accessed anywhere for specific port just enter ::/0 in the source field.

for exmple:

for opening Porte 80

port: 80 Source:0.0.0.0/0 (for ipv4)

port: 80 Source: ::/0 (for ipv6)

Is your VPC setup to use IPv6 and does the subnet your instance resides in have an IPv6 range attached to it?

You will also need to ensure your VPC has a route in the route table of your instance to allow ::/0 outbound for the internet (over an internet gateway as your instance is public).

Assuming all of these exist use DIG against the hostname you are connecting to, to validate it has an AAAA record to allow the domain to resolve for IPv6 addresses.

Here is some more information about setting up IPv6 for your VPC.
