I'll just toss in a reason why I would like to see IPV6. I've got a network with about 24 subnets,,, a combination of physical and vlans. We have been rolling out Windows 7, and slowly been upgrading our servers to 2008 R2. My tech team is very small and we support a large number of clients in the K-12 sector. The advent of Microsoft's new PNRP protocol which is more or less an IPV6 P2P protocol is super slick. We have been playing with setting up our own private PNRP cloud but we discovered that it won't traverse our pfsense box.
Now that being said, there are other ways to accomplish the same thing (send remote assistance via email, drop file on a file server so we can reach out and grab it), but this easy to use help desk tool, when its configured end to end, has a huge amount of value. The other option is doing some sort of 6to4 tunneling but I haven't figured out how to do that yet, but either way I just want to keep this traffic on the inside of the firewall in the first place. But I am incredibly grateful to the developers, you have a product second to none in the open source world in my opinion. If this manifests itself (IPV6), then great. If not, you can still count on my kind words. :) Take care, Tim P.S. Please no MS bashing here,,, I know that PNRP is about as safe as UPnP, but any good tech knows how to put in mitigating factors. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
