As I recall, many (most?) routers and appliances today ship with
IPV6 enabled out of the box.

That is also true of all Windows Laptops and desktops shipped
since WIN8 (might even have been enabled on Win7).

There was actually a few articles written in the past about
hackers using IPV6 to tunnel into systems/desktops/sites that
were not aware their FW's/routers had IPV6 open.
