Usually, inbound IPv6 are firewalled by the ISP router just fine. As far as I know, there is UPnP with IPv6 though there seems to be some work into that direction. Also, current CGNAT setups tend to close connections before they should according to RFCs: https://anderstrier.dk/2021/01/11/my-isp-is-killing-my-idle-ssh-sessions-yours-might-be-too/ https://anderstrier.dk/2021/01/11/my-isp-is-killing-my-idle-...
All the IPv6 routing security has to be done with IPv4 as well. ARP -> NDP, prevent source address spoofing, DHCP guard/ RA guard are basically two sides of the same coin. Serious networking hardware supports this for years or there are firmware updates supporting it. For about the last 5 years, supporting IPv6 became much easier, almost as easy as supporting IPv4 for most of the real world use cases. Anyway, the reality is, we don't really have much choice other than to migrate to IPv6 sooner or later.
- BlueTemplar 6y agoPretty often, IPv6 is NOT firewalls (or the firewall is opt-in which in practice amounts to the same thing).
