I asked about that number since some folks are skittish about revealing their actual IP addresses. And, no, I don't think a tunnel is involved. Comcast owns 2001:558:6040::/48 My IPv6 address is 2001:b030:112f::140e and, in fact, 2001:b030:112f:0000::/56 belongs to me. I also have a test system which does have a 6in4 tunnel via Hurricane Electric. With the segment 2001:470:67:cce::/64 I gleaned his IPv6 address and, as we all know, there isn't much a need for NAT with IPv6. My network is behind a router based firewall and I do have to configure rules to allow access as the default is "deny". Based on "probing" his IPv6 address while various things were being done yesterday it was apparent that there was no router FW. > > >> (Ed (11:26pm)) >> > We shall see how he answers (if he does) my question on "ip add". >> > I have my own good reason to suspect he actually is directly connected. >> Are Ed and I correct?

Keep the firewall on. :-) > You're not running anything other than cups that's remotely connectable, so there's not really anything to even check for hacking attempts, since there's nothing to break into. (cups should be blocked by default by the firewall.) Actually, when it comes to cupsd... Host is up. PORT STATE SERVICE 631/tcp filtered ipp So, yes, he is covered there as well. FWIW, I have an additional system fully open to the Internet but configured as an IPv6 only system. I use a public NAT64/DNS64 service for access to non-IPv6. Owing to the number of IPv6 addresses, I assume, it has never been probed by the ssh script kiddies. -- The key to getting good answers is to ask good questions. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
