      Not sure this is the correct section to put this question in, but here goes.

      We have a lot of mDNSv6 denials in the firewall log since about a week back, about 10 per second. I realise it's of course blocking traffic because IPv6 is not allowed (default checkbox), and I could have it not log this traffic. But I'd rather remove the source of the traffic, and this is beyond me.

      I have disabled (and removed interfaces from) IGMP Proxy. So where does this come from?

        @phatsta it’s coming from all the devices running IPv6.

        Create a block rule and set it not to log is the easiest thing to do.
