comment IPv6 in IPv4 over LAN
@bahamat On the stateful NAT configurations I have used if you can craft the right packets, you are likely already passing through. The firewall further limits which port can pass in or out.

comment IPv6 in IPv4 over LAN
@bahamat NAT to private addresses does prevent direct access to the devices behind it (except for those that are port forwarded to). As such it is an effective firewall for incoming connections. IPv6 does not offer such protection.

comment CPU stuck at 99% for a few hours. Really need help figuring out logs
If you end up with multiple cleanup processes running, they may interfere with each other by generating locks on the directory when they delete files. Try temporarily removing it from the crontab until the load clears. Then add it with a longer interval between runs. You may want to move it to a script with a locking mechanism to ensure only one instance is running. Kill off any multiple instances of the command for now.
