Strange how I use this non-functional support every day. I have a properly working firewall, but it appears there is no stateful filtering nor connection tracking in the IPV6 stack. I send out an So is there something I'm missing? Am I completely fscked-up when I say that it doesn't work in practice, because there is no stateful packet filtering nor connection tracking? Yes. IPv6 does not need NAT'ing. Everyone should have a global address. Connection tracking is not needed.
