What precisely does this mean?Ģ) I'm aware that IPv6 can be disabled per network adapter, but I'm specifically trying to determine: can the firewall be configured to block ALL outbound and inbound IPv6 communication?ģ) My firewall log indicates that some application called simply, "Windows Operating System" is being blocked.Ī) What is the file or process associated with this application? In other words, what is this?ī) How do I determine what firewall configuration or rule is responsible for blocking this (or any) application? The User Guide indicates that, "if enabled, CIS will filter IPv6 network traffic in addition to IPv4 traffic." This option seems to imply that unless enabled, IPv6 outbound and inbound communication is completely unfiltered by the firewall, but that just sounds silly, so I hope I'm missing something. I'm testing CIS on Windows 7, and I have read the User Guide, but I have some lingering questions that I hope someone here can answer:ġ) The Filter IPv6 Traffic option under Settings > Firewall > Firewall Settings is unclear (or at least I hope it is).
