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

My current provider doesn't even support it...

In what kind of godforsaken backwater do ISPs that don't support IPv6 still exist!?

    Switzerland, we have the best and worst of both worlds. 25GBit Fiber home connections for less than 100 USD per month and ISPs that only support IPv4.

    Which fiber provider doesn't support IPv6? I thought it was only Swisscom mobile and its subsidiary's which don't support it (though from what I heard, even that is in testing now)

    Small former Gemeinschaftsanntenne in my town and surrounding villages, I don't wanna dox myself so can't tell you the name. They probably have anywhere between 10-20k customers only. But afaik they are just one of many IPv4 only ISPs in Switzerland.

    Ah, I see, that really does sound like a few places I know in Graubünden that wouldn't be all too unfair to call "godforsaken backwater" (when it comes to the internet), despite all their charm. 😉

    Yea that was similar to my response when I figured I would look into it a few years back. No ipv6 and no ip address rotation unless its offline for more than 24h, which makes thing simple

    There are a few ISPs in North America that support ipv6, but many many don't. As much as I detest the recent push toward "5G Internet to the Home", it at least does increase adoption of IPv6 since (from what I understand) basically all mobile carriers are v6-only and do NAT64 for v4 support.

    I don't know if that translates to the 5G-at-home offering but it wouldn't surprise me since most customers don't care what address scheme is being used as long as Netflix works.
