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.

            Small former Gemeinschaftsanntenne in my town and surrounding villages,

            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. 😉
