If that means that the default configuration of the firewall is to block all unsollicited incoming, I can only say: "yes, of course."

But just like for the IPv4 NAT, there is port forwarding, there should be a possibility for the IPv6 firewall to create holes that can pass incoming packets under certain conditions. There must be something in the setup...

I would consider that a last resort. There should be a way to open ports with the software that came with the box.


Cheers, Michiel
