Do MacOS and Ubuntu ship with firewalls?
- icedchai 6y agoMost consumer routers should at least be doing basic inbound connection filtering for IPv6. Are they not? MacOS and Ubuntu ship with firewalls, though not sure if they're enabled by default.
- BlueTemplar 6y agoI checked one big ISP, boasting 99% IPv6 coverage, and the IPv6 firewall is opt-in, and considering how many people change their settings... (For those that might not be aware of it : with IPv6, there's no NAT, since there's no need for it.)
