Did he actually get an IPv6 address from the ISP? Or did he just notice the link local IPv6 address. A quick test for IPv6 internet is to try to go to ipv6.google.com.
So the lesson for lot's of people: even if you're not using (knowingly) IPv6, configure your firewall for it.
My Linux box firewall is configured to pass only ssh, OpenVPN and the 6to4 tunnel on IPv4. When I port scan my computers that are behind the firewall, but have an IPv6 address, I can see all the open services, not just those I want available on the internet. That's something I'll have to get around to resolving soon. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
