Hello,

I've got a little problem with my Virtual Server and ipv6 firewalls. I would like to setup a simple firewall that basically blocks everything except a few ports like 80, 443 and the like. The main problem is, that my kernel is 2.6.18 which doesn't support stateful ipv6 firewalls yet and as I'm running in a virtual machine (Virtuozzo) with no access to the kernel itself, I'm unable to change anything concering kernel/modules.

My question: Does anyone know about some ressources where I could learn about stateless ipv6 firewalls? I did google for things like that but it turned out, that very few people use ipv6 on kernels < 2.6.20 (the first one with proper conntrack support with ipv6).

Thanks in advance

I would guess that very few people use IPv6 at all let alone actually try to firewall it, so you're probably going to have a difficult time getting much help.
