      My wired carrier only gives me a /60 for ipv6 and they can’t do reverse DNS entries for ipv6. :(

      At least I get an ipv6.

          Exactly some. We are so tight on ipv6 adresses a /48 would be ludicrous. Imagine me wanting some local networks.

          This is something where ipv4 is actually better for my use. Also I have to hardcode the ipv6 prefix in so many applications and services - I dread ever getting a different prefix.

    I gotta suck it up and learn IPv6. My ISP now provides me with a /64. But I feel like I have a lot of knowledge gaps on their features so I’m worried about security. Especially with all the new features like SLAAC.

    What’s the best crash course these days? Go through Cisco materials or something?

      I feel that but I’m also torn because IPv4 keeps plugging along for me and work isn’t moving to v6 anytime soon for the private networks.

    My ISP gives me my own IPv6, and I have shared IPv4 with CGNAT, but unfortunately, they can’t assign me a static v6, so that I can have servers and stuff. So I just do things like that over Tor. Though things like Tor need work as well, because you’re not able to have a Tor relay on IPv6. You need V4 for that.

      If you’re willing to spend a coupla bucks a month you can setup wireguard and iptables on a vps, and port forward through the public IP on your VPN server to yourbhome router via the wg interface.

      Also good for anonymous home hosting if you pay with xmr, turn off logging (bonus pts for luks and RO filesystems) and use the right host.
