If you try to set up a firewall with IPv6 addresses there is a problem.
In the script /etc/network/if-up.d/iptables it says

Code:

#!/bin/sh
/sbin/iptables-restore < /var/lib/iptables/rules

but this cannot set up IPv6 rules, so the complete firewall will not come up.
In my opinion there must be an option for IPv6 rules, so that IPv6 rules will be set up via

Code:

/sbin/ip6tables-restore

Can we expect this to be fixed in the next version?
