I'm trying to wrap my head around security aspects of IPv6 protocol.

From what I've learned that now my networking devices have a public IP address (unlike with IPv4 which would have to be port translated at the router).

In order to talk to a service I still will need a port next to the IP address.

Does that mean that every device in the network should have a firewall? Or can I still have one at the router level handle everything?

My fear is that a router could be easily bypassed.
