Christ I hate ipv6, POS it is... OK, steam vented... Folks, I must be doing something wrong, so any pointers be appreciated. I can not even ping6 _OUT_ unless I clear all ipv6 rules or change def policy input to accept, despite it being globally "allowed" already. the machine can also not be reached either despite the ipv6 range included Is there something broken?
