minus-squarer00ty@kbin.lifelinkfedilinkarrow-up3·9 months agoBest thing to do to test the firewall is run some kind of server and try to connect to your ipv6 on that port. Like I’ve said in other posts, routers really should block incoming connections by default. But it’s not always the case that they do.
