How is this “dropping packets” not applicable to firewalls, then? You are not just going to casually connect to my IPv6 device as we’re speaking. The default-deny firewall in my router does the heavy lifting… just like what NAT did.
Honestly, it just sounds like you need to brush up on networking knowledge. Repeat after me: NAT is not security.
Are you saying that everyone’s router’s firewall drops all packets from connections that originate from outside of their network?
It’s a stateful firewall. It simply drops unsolicited packets.
So, really, you were “correcting” me for you and your specific setup at the very beginning because your router’s firewall has a deny rule for all inbound connections because I must have been confusing what a NAT and what a firewall is because I must have been talking about your specific configuration on your specific devices.
Holy. Fucking. Shit.
Oh come on, are you seriously suggesting that default-deny is not the norm??
Holy. Fucking. Shit. Indeed.
