  • 1.  Rule Blocking IPV6 Incoming/Outgoing: What is rationale for it?

    Posted Sep 29, 2011 12:44 PM

    Symatec default rule Blocks IPV6 Incoming/Outgoing and this seems to prevent me from using Mozilla Browser: What is rationale for the rule, what are the risks, is Mozilla browser not safe to use, or do I have a corrupted version of the browser?

    It depends whether you need to allow or block. By default it is blocked as there are many talks on the rogue traffic on IPV6
