The Ghost in Your Machine: IPv6 Gateway to Hackers

After reading this article on blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2008/07/the-ghost-in-yo.html
I really get paranoid cause the ipv6 stack is integrated in the pfSense kernel. Is there a way to block the ipv6 traffic? or to use the ipv4 stack again? ???

Is there a howto block all the ipv6 traffic in/out on pfsense or I'm just talking non-sense here? :o

Unless you allow traffic it's denied. The default rules in pfSense block all IPv6. Unless you add a rule with any source, any destination and any protocol (a bad idea), IPv6 cannot pass.
