- Fatnino 4y agoIoT camera that can do IPv6 is much rarer than IoT camera with security issue.
- oliwarner 4y agoDo domestic IPv6 networks typically expose things by default? I can just about get on board with using legal addressing for internal nodes, but I wouldn't dream of exposing everything just because the addressing scheme allowed it. This is a genuine question. IPv6 is yet to reach me at home.
- dns_snek 4y agoInstead of configuring NAT (usually referred to as "port forwarding"), with IPv6 you only need to worry about configuring your firewall to allow certain connections and block everything else. At the end of the day you have a router that acts as a firewall. Whether the devices are globally routable/reachable (IPv6) or not (IPv4) shouldn't make a difference. IPv6 hasn't reached me either, but I would expect a sane default configuration in consumer-grade routers to block external connections by default.
- ActorNightly 4y agoTheoretically yes, in practice no. IPV6 devices are reachable, however many routers by default configure firewalls to block incoming traffic.
