[Touch-packages] [Bug 1368411] Re: Cannot insert IPV6 rule before IPV4 rules
Over three years, actually. Coming up on four. Wow. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ufw in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1368411 Title: Cannot insert IPV6 rule before IPV4 rules Status in ufw: New Status in ufw package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I am unable to insert any rules concerning IPV6 before IPV4 rules. Thus, when IPV4 rules are numbered 1 to 5 and IPV6 rules are numbered 6 to 10, the following command: [code] ufw insert 1 deny from 2a02:2210:12:a:b820:fff:fea2:25d1 [/code] errors with "ERROR: Invalid position '1'". However, the command [code] ufw insert 6 deny from 2a02:2210:12:a:b820:fff:fea2:25d1 [/code] succeeds. In my case, this poses a problem, since I am trying to insert rules from a script against brute force attacks. The script needs to insert blocking rules before a number of other rules that open up some ports (since the order of rules is important in ufw). However since the number of IPV4 rules will be changing all the time, the position of the first available number for an IPV6 address is hard to determine. Proposed solution: either allow IPV6 rules to precede IPV4 rules, or implement a keyword defining the first available position; e.g. "ufw insert first deny from 2a02:2210:12:a:b820:fff:fea2:25d1".

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1368411] Re: Cannot insert IPV6 rule before IPV4 rules
Given the growing prevalence of IPv6 connectivity, this is a huge problem for this package. This bug has been open for nearly three years.
