ufw

[James Mcphee]

That's a good thing.  Almost all linux distros give you an IPv6 addy by
default, ubuntu is no exception.  If they weren't blocking things in the
firewall, you'd go and secure your IPv4 and leave your IPv6 wide open :)

Do an "ip a" on you commandline and see if you have an IPv6 addy.
