Hello, I was wondering if there was a quickstart guide for implementing ipv6 and Shorewall6? I configured my ipv6 on my interface. installed Shorewall6 and enabled ipv6 in the shorewall.conf file. Is this dangerous? I mean I didn''t setup anything else. Or is the default behavior to block all.

Shorewall6 includes sample configurations just like the base product does. The biggest difference in configuration is that IPv6''s large address space and auto-configuration features make NAT unnecessary. There is no quickstart guide but there are a couple of articles about Shorewall6: http://www.shorewall.net/IPv6Support.html http://www.shorewall.net/6to4.htm#FeetWet I suggest that you read them in that order. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ When I die, I want to go like my Grandfather who Shoreline, \ died peacefully in his sleep.

If you use some parameters, links on your filesystem, you can use the same rules, policy, ... for IPv4 and IPv6! It is quite handy, if you want to treat them the same :-) Greetz!
