> So I have to run a ULA in parallel to the publicly accessible networks specifically for internal routing, and then use a DNS server to try and correct it. Which works great! ...except when you run into this little niche operating system called Android. Which by default doesn't obey a network provided DNS server if you've got privacy DNS enabled. So if I've got guests over and I want them on a network in my place to access some sort of internal resource, then I've got to walk them through disabling privacy DNS.

This also sounds like it would be a problem for v4? I'm not clear on how this is a v6 problem. If I'm picturing it correctly, it's a difference of handing the guests a local v4 address vs disabling privacy DNS and handing them a DNS name. I'd think the latter would be easier

Using a public domain for TLS certs for private networking is pretty standard in /r/selfhosted and /r/homelab at least.

Fair point on ISPs handing out /64 prefixes, but this is the first I've heard of them varying the prefix length once you know what you've got. I don't doubt it though
