On the other hand, internet connections generally don't offer IPv6
without loudly proclaiming it as an advertisable feature, so if your
computer is v6 accessible from the internet, you probably know.
The OP implied living in a network he didn't control completely,
which
may have a mix of operating systems, and possibly local malware.

It is the LAN of my employers, I do not know if I can trust the network
or not: I am the only linux users here ( modulo servers ), but except
the boss and one administrative person, everyone have programming and/or
networking knowledge.
Honestly, I do not really mind security for now, I just want to have
the tools I consider essential for a professional programming activity.
But if there are things to know about security, I will be very happy to
learn and use those.
In short: I am a newly employed guy in an enterprise where a lot of
income is from 1 client ( which is bad enough by itself but: ), with
versionning system named cp.OLD, no automated testing at all, no
bugtracking ( oh, yes, there is: some excel files... sigh ) and "send to
client's servers to test your soft, man" politic.
I can not ( well, I can, but it's stupid and imply a lot of loss of
time for everyone ) work like that, so I want to install all of those
tools. I asked for a server to network guys, and finally have one now on
which I can work. I obviously do not use it when I try to configure all
this stuff, only to deploy what I achieved to make working on my own
computer, and that VLan stuff is the last part ( but probably the most
important one, too ).
With more details:
What I basically want to do, and I do not understand how they ( my
programmer colleagues ) can happily live without that, is a server for
source versionning, bug tracking, wikis, etc. This stuff does not need
any virtual system or network, and is relatively easy to deploy.
But, and it is why I need this virtual and iptables stuff, I would like
to simulate the production environment of our main client. Would you
trust me if I say that currently, testing ( beta ) and development (
alpha ) versions of softwares are directly sent on production servers?
It hurt me a lot ( and not only because it is bad and disgusting: it
also makes everything a lot more complex ), so I want to have a replica
of that network in our own network. 2 replicas, in fact, one for
testing, and another for programming, so that automated tests ( which
are currently lacking, too ) could be made.
