except for nor using it at all, of course.

So I want to make my homelab IPv6 ready, because I have too much free time, i guess. There are two decisions that I'm currently unsure about:

  1. ULA or not. Do you have local only addresses or do your clients communicate using the global IPv6 address? Does not using ULAs work without a static IP from the ISP?
  2. DHCPv6 or is SLAAC enough?

For each question both options seem to be possible and I'm interested in your experience

Cheers

On work IPv6 external + IPv4 internal. Private ISP offers only the shitty dual stack light. I moved some services to a VPS.
