kasperd<p>A website I manage has been subject to some port scans and subsequently a management interface on a separate port number has seen password brute force attempts.</p><p>Since IPv6 gives me enough addresses I have moved the management interface to a different IP address.</p><p>IPv6 has so many addresses that scanning all of IPv6 address space is not feasible. So scans use other methods such as scanning known domain names.</p><p>If you have multiple domain names pointing to your host they don't all have to point to the same IP address.</p><p><a class="hashtag" href="https://westergaard.social/tag/howipv6helpedmethisweek" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HowIPv6HelpedMeThisWeek</a></p>
