If it can be fixed with a Linux kernel check in, probably the 'linux' package is a better target than the 'iptables' package.

Same.) iptables=1.4.12-1ubuntu5 and ipv6 We noticed that --reject-with tcp-reset works 7 seconds: ip6tables -I OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 10001 -j REJECT --reject-with tcp-reset such rule ip6tables -L Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination REJECT tcp anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:10001 reject-with tcp-reset time telnet <ourlovelyipv6onlyserver> 10001 Trying 2a02:6b8:0:c10*... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out real 0m7.012s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.000s Rule works: ip6tables -vL Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 506 packets, 49495 bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT 346 packets, 37392 bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination 3 216 REJECT tcp any any anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:10001 reject-with tcp-reset Tcpdump is empty. Packet counter increases. All well. But it works 7 seconds iptables does the same within 0.005s I think this is a bug. Thank you. Have a nice day.
