Ohhh no! The horror!

I have them blocked on Steam. I don’t care what comes from them, it’s not worth it.

This thread is going places

ALF! That was great.

That is the Archway!

On another note, I liked this Moriarty episode too. But, also liked this one 🤣:

No, durians have big spikes. Between the spikes and the smell, durians shout not to be eaten, but do we listen?

Keep it rolling!

Very nice of you, thanks!

Check the documentation to see which driver supports your hardware before trying.

Once you have the correct driver, test to see if it is working properly, there are a few commands to do this.

There was a way around it however but not something everyone will be able to do with their home router. I had to ssh to the router using ISP admin credentials leaked on the internet, then create a file in init.d that loads a custom iptables file with the firewall rules I needed for IPv6. NAT for IPv6 however was not supported by the kennel used for my router.

This is correct. My router however doesn’t have that level of firewall. It’s either all allowed or nothing is.

The router does have a firewall but it blocks everything inbound by default. Some routers (at least mine) do not offer the granularity to filter traffic for certain devices (no NAT either). It’s either allow all in or nothing.

When you enable IPv6 and switch off the firewall (since you can’t host anything otherwise), every device becomes exposed to the internet.

Then unless the devices have a firewall themselves, all is exposed. Not just the web services, ssh and the rest as well.

Because devices in your LAN will all be accessible from the internet with IPv6, you need to firewall every device.

It becomes more of a problem for IoT devices which you can’t really control. If you can, disable ipv6 for those.

Even if it was white, is kind of a bad contrast for reading.

“Have you tried turning it off and on again?”

IPv6 is a viable option. Depending on how you set things up, you’d have to firewall the devices pretty good as in IPv6, devices are exposed to the internet. All open ports would be accessible.
