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

    set up ULA so you can access your local devices if the internet goes down

    your router should retain its address even if the external connection goes down.

    DHCPv6 is not well supported

    Androids get SLAAC, everybody else can have a nice, readable, stable, firewall-openable suffix.
