Just a quick question regarding IPv6 filtering. My ISP (Sky) utilizes both IPv4 and IPv6. The router has a built-in IPv6 and IPv4 firewall. With CIS should I be filtering IPv6 traffic?
I know I'd require the ICMP (Packet too big, time exceeded and type 134,135 & 136 for neighbour and router solicitation essentials) but is there any point in me filtering the IPv6 traffic with any of the configurations? I'm currently playing around with CS or default Proacive config and with it enabled, I seem to only be blocking LAN Ipv6 to 546 and another laptop on the machine's Apple Bojour service to port 5353 and occasional upnp to port 3702. The router assigns me a public IPv4 and IPv6 ip address and this laptop is only ever on the home network.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Erz
