Turn off temp addresses. If your prefix changes then use ULA addresses.

I suppose I could have said how.

Windows in powershell:

  SetNetIPv6Protocol -UseTemporaryAddresses Disabled
  SetNetIPv6Protocol -RandomizeIdentifiers Disabled

Linux:

  sysctl net.ipv6.conf.all.use_tempaddr=0

or in NetworkManager config file:

  ip6-privacy=0

OpenBSD:

  ifconfig em0 inet6 -temporary

Yeah. ULA and nat66 would work nicely. Except you would get murdered for asking about nat66.

  • I'm convinced half the ipv6 subreddit is made of people who don't actually like ipv6 and are trying to subvert it. The advice they give sometimes is just insane. "Just get a new ISP bro..."

    I think a lot of people assume privacy addresses are required. You can just not mess with them. Privacy is dead anyway.
