(usagi-users 00560) IPv6+2.4.x: ipv6_local_port_range implementation plans + netfilter6



Hi all,

are there any plans to implement "ipv6_local_port_range" in the future like on IPv4?


BTW: for all the IPv6 freaks and kernel 2.4 users: I've already brought netfilter6 on my gateway server up to life (thanks to netfilter & ext3 developers) and add some hints in my HowTo relating to this:
http://www.bieringer.de/linux/IPv6/IPv6-HOWTO/IPv6-HOWTO-8.html


netfilter6 is currently not fullfeatured and work in progress, but packet filtering works and for security issues it's really better than nothing!
I recommend to insert following rules on (tunnel) interface(s) to block incoming TCP connections requests like:


ip6tables -I INPUT -i sit+ -p tcp --syn -j DROP
ip6tables -I FORWARD -i sit+ -p tcp --syn -j DROP

Modify the "-i" option, if your interface(s) to the global IPv6 network are named different.
