    Here is a good article that describes why you should NOT check the box in Blink under the Firewall tab "Allow IPv6 Traffic" unless you have IPv6 Traffic on your network.

    Great point Blue1978!

     That is exactly why Blink has that setting. Any IPv6 vulnerabilities -and we belive there are plenty waiting to be discovered- will affect systems having the IPv6 enabled even if IPv6 is not used.

    Sorry to bump this thread, but I can't find this in Blink Personal Version 4.1.4, Rule version 1463. Which section should it be in?

    From the top right go to Options >> Firewall Tab >> uncheck the Allow IPv6 Traffic box (unless you need it)
