IP6Tables is the firewalling tool for [IPv6] under [Linux].
-Unfortunately it's reasonably immature as
of 2003-08-10
, and doesn't support important things like
connection based
tracking.
+As
of the Linux 2.6.21 kernel
, the Netfilter code base has the new layer 3
connection tracking code in place, so enabling connection tracking for IPv6 is as simple as a configuration option in make config (Note: It is marked as experimental).
+
+Once you've enabled everything, you can set up your ip6tables just as you would your IPv4 iptables. This provides the final piece in a sane deployment of IPv6 on the Internet
.
