Thankfully, this is going away now with IPv6.
- jjoonathan 5y agoI want to believe!
- BlueTemplar 5y agoWell, IPv6 seems to be today (both in popularity and speed of adoption) where UTF-8 was about a decade ago. So, hopefully in a decade..?
- 10000truths 5y agoUnfortunately not. Most consumer and SOHO routers have reflexive ACLs enabled by default, and your average Joe doesn’t know or care to turn it off.
- BlueTemplar 5y agoOh, interesting, what is it exactly ? Surprising that with over a year of discussions about this subject I only first hear of it ? Would this be the reason why at least tens of millions of consumer routers don't have IPv6 firewalls (technically, opt-in firewalls, but you know how that goes...), and don't have their networks hacked ? Wait, does it even work with UDP, which doesn't have a concept of "connection" ? (Especially IPv6 (no NAT) UDP ?)
