Argh - still no luck. I can now ping6 remote destinations, but I can't, for example, establish ssh connections. I can't even ssh to another local box over eth0! To summarise, here's where it stands: ip6tables -N filter6 ip6tables -A filter6 -p icmpv6 -j ACCEPT ip6tables -A filter6 -m state --state NEW -i ! tunbt6 -j ACCEPT ip6tables -A filter6 -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT ip6tables -A filter6 -j REJECT ip6tables -A INPUT -j filter6 ip6tables -A FORWARD -j filter6 To force it to let me ssh around to and from my router box, I am forced to do this: ip6tables -N filter6 ip6tables -A filter6 -i eth0 -j ACCEPT ip6tables -A filter6 -i lo -j ACCEPT ip6tables -A filter6 -p icmpv6 -j ACCEPT ip6tables -A filter6 -m state --state NEW -i ! tunbt6 -j ACCEPT ip6tables -A filter6 -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT ip6tables -A filter6 -j REJECT ip6tables -A INPUT -j filter6 ip6tables -A FORWARD -j filter6 Anybody know what's happening?
And let me just add that doing what I did on the last bit only lets me ssh to/from this router box inside my network (over eth0) - why was enabling lo explicitly necessary? Thanks
