ipv6 has any impact on privacy? (VPNs aside) my ipv4 changes every 24 hours, what if my ISP tries to pin a fixed ipv6 on me since they are "unlimited"? I hope

I hope I can also stay under NAT, I don't understand the concept perfectly but it's nice to have this extra indirect protection at home
- mgbmtl 9y agoThere are plenty of other ways to track you. This is a really old argument (and is off-topic).
- dx034 9y agoBut you can prevent all other ways. IP tracking doesn't work well currently, the number of users sharing one IP can be significant. Other means of tracking can be disabled with addins and by using common configurations (for browser fingerprints). Once you start assigning one static ip per device, there's nothing a user can do to prevent being tracked constantly.
- SAI_Peregrinus 9y agoFYI you don't need NAT if you have a firewall, since the firewall can provide identical protection while being harder to bypass. Pretty much every home router can act as a firewall, but most won't by default.
- voltagex_ 9y agoA $300 "home" router I bought couldn't firewall IPv6 at all - people are going to get caught out by crap products.
