- pid0x17 29d agoI am still somewhat new to networking concepts (currently reading Computer Networking: A Top Down Approach by Kurose & Ross), and as far as I understood, most IPv6 networks don't have a NAT, or did I misunderstand? If that is the case, that means homes using IPv6 have globally routable IP addresses for their connected devices, right? Would the router's firewall protect it if it denies incoming connections?
- liveoneggs 29d agoYeah you just need to remember to login to your totally-not-corrupt ISP's definitely-easy-to-use firewall manager app and setup your firewall rules to prevent hostile governments from using your microwave as a passive listening device, which they sell back to your own government for probable cause, to arrest you for cooking the wrong brand of popcorn.
