If you wish to do this with IPv6 you can with ULA and NPTv6: * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unique_local_address * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6-to-IPv6_Network_Prefix_Tr... > 3. All those ICMPv6 messages sniffing (and snooping?) really don't fill me with joy joy happiness. For those wondering: ping works by sending ICMP(v4) echo request packets. If you wish to block v4 ping you block echo requests (Type 8) and echo replies (Type 0): * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Control_Message_Proto... ping6 works by sending ICMP(v6) echo request packets. In IPv6-land block Types 128 and 129: * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Control_Message_Proto... To block traceroute block Types 11 (v4) and 3 (v6): TTL/hop exceeded notifications. > IPv6 really does feel like a Godzillian monstrosity and a chore to type in: double colons between every number and it's in Hex? At least with IPv4 you can type the numbers in pretty rapidly on a numpad. We've run out of IPv4 addresses. We need a larger address space with more bits. More bits mean more typing. Get over it? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |
