So, would a bit of address space randomization mitigate step one for ipv6? fd00::/8 is pretty big, right? Even just picking a random IP in a random /64 from that /8 should help? Or am I missing something?
Also interesting comments in the reply on the list regarding "policy based" vpns. I wonder if some subset of that infrastructure could be used by Wireguard without completing it all the way out of its current nice and secure-by-simplicity design?

> Only route based VPNs are impacted. In comparison, policy based VPNs are not impacted (On Linux only implementable
using XFRM, which is IPsec on Linux specific) unless the XFRM policy's level is set to "use" instead of "required" (default)) because any traffic received that matches a policy (IPsec security policy) and that is not protected is dropped.
