Windows firewall - does it firewall IPv6 traffic?
Hi all,
I got a new PC with a new OS that I know .... little about, so much is very different from my familiar XP Pro, even the UI. So, I got lots of questions, and while most are easy to Just Google It, this is one I haven't found a clear answer to yet:
do the Windows 7/8/10 firewalls handle IPv6 traffic just like it handles IPv4 traffic, firewalling it properly? Or is the firewall just gonna let IPv6 stuff through like it had a get out of jail free card and compromise security?
I used the Windows firewall on XP and was happy with it, and I've been hoping I can do so on Win 8 as well, but I'm not sure about the IPv6 thing...
Thanks!
