Description Kristopher 2015-02-24 09:31:05 CST
Modern Linux distributions have ip6tables, which is the IPv6 equivalent of iptables. Based on personal experience, ip6tables does not seem to inherit any rules from iptables, which effectively means that both iptables and ip6tables need to be configured separately.

When working with KMyFirewall with the "show commands" option enabled, I noticed that KMyFirewall works with iptables only, I did not see *any* reference to ip6tables. That may not be an issue for those of us on IPv4-only connections, but IPv6 is becoming more and more common, thus it is of increasing importance to have support for both iptables and ip6tables.

I suggest adding support for ip6tables, and providing an option for the user to choose whether or not to include it when applying firewall rules.
