Good luck trying to find industrial stuff that supports IPv6, hell most of it is still serial.

I have legit heard that serial is security mechanism because it cannot communicate long distance like ethernet.

Of course you can do IPv6 magic that hides IPv6 from the end device, but nobody understands how that magic works.

it’s not magic… it’s a firewall, and it works pretty much exactly the same as a NAT: a whitelist of IP and port combinations
