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:

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?
DHCPv6 or is SLAAC enough?

For each question both options seem to be possible and I'm interested in your experience

Cheers

In fact when I was in college taking classes on IPv6 we were told it would be everywhere next year.

This was 1994. Lol

Personally I don't like it because it's too overengineered for me. They should have added 2 bytes to IPv4 and called it a day. That means we would have had the address space of 65536 internets. Really plenty. IPv6 has too much space.
