Try using ssh to multiple computers, without changing port numbers. I do that every day from my workstation. (which is behind a NAT setup). The issue is the reverse. With IPv6 I just unblock SSH (TCP/22). Done. Sooo much simpler. HA! That is another can of worms, because I currently have a few gadgets with hardcoded login/password

BOGUS! Why would you're TV be exposed because you opened your workstation's / server's TCP/22 port. Firewalls can be as granular as you want/need.
Worse, some of them do not support ssh, only telnet. Yes, today, current hardware. And probably, hardware that does not support ipv6, either. Crap hardware? Sure. But it is what I can buy. I don't know of any other I can buy that is better in that respect. I would need a really good entry firewall if I were to have ipv6 adsl.
You'd need a standard / normal firewall. Every firewall can open / close a specific address / port. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
