What does your IPv6 setup look like? (feddit.org)

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

SLAAC with ISP-provided prefix. Everything that wants an IPv6 address gets one and I've got my firewall set to block pretty much all in-bound traffic other than SSH. It's nice being able to SSH directly to something rather than using a jump host or VPN.

I also use ULA because NFS mounts over IPv6 on the global addresses would hang/timeout every time the SLAAC address rotated which is frequent due to privacy extensions.
