Reason: If you add ipv4 firewall config for security, you should also add one for ipv6

Currently, Vanilla OS does not apply any firewalls to IPv6 traffic, which could be a security issue.

Does vanilla even have an IPv4 firewall enabled by default?
If so, what is the service called?

Why use iptables over nftables? isnt nftables just overall better

iptables is considered deprecated. and nftables is supposed to be the successor made by the same people i believe

Vanilla does not have a firewall by default, so I think this issue doesn't really make sense right now so I'm closing it.

A general firewall is tracked here #98
