I've now found the old thread (2015) about this issue: https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2015/04/msg00388.html I forgot that "accept_ra = 0" was erratic: https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2015/04/msg00544.html And I also completely forgot about the ip6tables workaround: https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2015/04/msg00534.html -- Vincent Lefèvre <[email protected]> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Pascaline project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
