alt Hacker NewsIt brings the requirement for a firewall on every endpoint with a unique address. My Phone often has an ipv6 address (found out this holiday wen I couldn't resolve one of sites because of an orphan ipv6 entry nobody noticed), and has little problems. Perhaps there is also "firewalling" on the router and the phone can't even have incoming connections. Not sure. In any case, the phone seems to do fine.

Phone OSs tend to pay a lot more attention to security than the crap they put on consumer-grade routers, "smart" TVs and cheap webcams.
I would invest in a proper firewall for the entire home before opening up anything to the world, IPv6 or not.

That's mostly because a phone is very locked down, can you run an accessible ftp server on your phone?
It's also not windows
