How to secure ipv6?

[Peacefuleight]

Hi,

I'm only using ipv4 and I thought to remove (disable) ipv6 but I've read that it was not the good solution. So is it possible to do some things to secure the network?
thanks

I've read that it was not the good solution.

because ... ?

[Peacefuleight]

you can google it, many sites talk about that...... So this is why I ask here if I can do something to secure around ipv6 or maybe you think it is ok to disable it ?

I'm blocking all outgoing ipv6 traffic in my fw, no issues for the last 4 years...

ok so you re keeping the ipv6 enable but blocking traffic

It is quite secure by default for both IPv4 and IPv6.
Is there some particular security concern?
