   Absolutely, same situation in Spain.   
      
      
   Anyway, the context was a beta testing of IPv6, and I proved that at   
   lest one of the provided routers was not IPv6 ready. It did not activate   
   a firewall for IPv6.   
      
   I reported this, and they did some thing that closed all incoming IPv6   
   connections to my machines. Input ssh directly to a machine in my LAN   
   from outside became impossible in IPv6, and no means to open it up. And   
   that is a crucial feature of IPv6: no needing to use NAT and tricks in   
   the router to connect from outside to a machine inside.
