>Description:
I'm one of the lucky people to have found a hosting provider which supports both IPv4 /and/ IPv6 (native /64 IPv6 netblock on each server).
My firewall of choice: IPFilter, mainly because of my Sun Solaris / SunOS roots.
Why I don't switch: "If it isn't broken...".
I'm reading:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/firewalls-ipf.html
Section 30.5.3 lists the options one can use in rc.conf but only those for IPv4, people using IPv6 are left in the dark.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
(note that these are only suggestions)
Add the following line:
ipv6_ipfilter_rules="/etc/ipf6.rules" # loads rules definition text file for IPv6
..after this existing line:
ipfilter_rules="/etc/ipf.rules" # loads rules definition text file
