Comment (by anon2):
Why should the need for firewall change, when addressing changes from ipv4
to ipv6?
Yes, the address space grows, so random scans are more difficult, but
there is still the normal need to filter out incoming unsolicited traffic.
Trusting that each ipv6-enabled device including all smart home
appliances, is well protected does not sound sensible to me. Much better
to filter out traffic at the border.
