facepalm

yes, that’s my point, because the devices can't be trusted to firewall themselves.

I still don't understand your point. With a firewall on the router, there's no difference between IPv4 and IPv6. Both are firewalled at the router. Where are the "bugs and vulns"?

If you mean my original point of the firewall not being enabled by default, I haven't seen that recently. It was a problem historically.
