I'm sorry, I don't follow. Our grandparents have working, secure NAT setups that no human being needed to configure. I've never once seen a "firewall ruleset"

- justeleblanc 4y agoReally? I changed ISPs the other day. Got my new modem/router. You know what I did in terms of firewalls? Nothing. You know what I have? A firewall that blocks all unknown incoming connections. Does it work? Yes. Did I even have to do anything besides plug in the box? No.
- dragoncrab 4y agoHappy you. All the 3 ISPs I dealt with in Hungary in the last 10 years provided 0 firewall capability for IPv6 in their integrated router/modem. Once you start assigning the addresses, every compatible IoT gadget you have is reachable from the public web. In this state, IPv6 is a pure security stepback for average residential users with 0 upside. I can't take any comment seriously who is speaking of configuring a stateful firewall in a residential environment.
