Hi Folks,
There seems to be a flurry of IPv6 talk going on,
My fault, I got a little fed up with all the disinformation flowing around - "just turn it off", "fix it in gai.conf", "it doesnt work", "can't be found in the wild", "breaks openSUSE", "ipv6 breaks home connectivity", "its difficult to learn".
So, what is the threat to a home IPv6 user who has WiFi and an Internet of Things with minimal/non-existent security? I personally feel safer behind a nice natted IPv4 firewall with ACL rules between my copper and WiFi subnets. I just feel that I have more control of the situation with a simpler network.
As others have already said, use a firewall for IPv6 just as you do with IPv4.
Has SUSE addressed this issue? Tell me I don't have to worry about it!
Which issue, Lew? Your router will presumably already have a firewall, so your devices are safe. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (18.9°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
