IPv6 and IPTables configuration

    Hello,

    I have a virtual Debian Wheezy ISPConfig server with an IPv6 address block.

    The "Show IPTables" page in ISPConfig reads the following:

    ip6tables -S (ipv6)
    -P INPUT ACCEPT
    -P FORWARD ACCEPT
    -P OUTPUT ACCEPT

    I'm just wondering is the server secure? Should I drop the packages?

    I have absolutely no connection to the IPv6 network because of my ISP, so I can't test the settings.

    I found a guide to disable IPv6, but I intend to use IPv6 when I get an IPv6 address to my premises.

    I have now reached the point where I stumbled upon this thread while Googleing for an answer, so for anybody interested, I decided to block all incoming traffic just in case using an ip6tables rule.

    Code:
    ip6tables -P INPUT DROP
