Hello,
   I am using IPCop at the moment, and that provides several services
including port scan detection, etc, as well as masquerading. There is a
mention of an IPv6 capable version in the future, but none in testing at
present, and I do not know what is proposed for the future.
   One problem I can see if there is a complete switch to IPv6 is that older
specialist IPv4 equipment could benefit from something similar to NAT, but I
have not yet seen anything that might help.
