IPv6 does have some security features lacking in IPv4.

Hopefully someone is researching this for us.

I was thinking of an IOT thermometer.

Don't you want to hear something like "Hi I'm your smart

have a cold, or worse. Have you been vaccinated yet? I
recommend you stay at home till you feel better."
