Hi everyone,

I’m trying to achieve a VM‑wide IPv6 block in Proxmox using only the GUI, without manually editing:
Code:
/etc/pve/firewall/<VMID>.fw
I want the GUI rule to behave exactly like the manual rules:
Code:
IN  -6 DROP
OUT -6 DROP
These two rules correctly block all IPv6 traffic, including:
  • TCPv6
  • UDPv6
  • ICMPv6
  • ND / RA
  • Multicast
  • Everything in the IPv6 family
Is this enough?

hmm, just set the policy to DROP maybe? and disallow everything.. but at that point, why even connect the NIC?
EDIT: Ah, because you want IPv4 only heh. Well, I'm not sure you need ipv6-icmp if you block ipv6, it's enough for me (and do not allow NDP/RA).
