Prefixes shouldn't change, that's the whole point. And you can use fixed addresses for IPv6 just as you had for IPv4.

Sure, but if you're doing that at an industrial size, you should consider buying/renting a fixed IP (range). You don't do production at home now, do you?

You probably mean suffix? Anyway, your systems can be configured to either not have that random suffix, and they can also be configured to still reply on their fixed address (the one that's not random). Maybe try using the fe80:: address if your prefix does change.

And even if they didn't by default, I might want to change my prefix from a privacy point of view. > You don't do production at home now, do you? Not for paying customers, but I have plenty of services that I would like myself, my gf, my buddy etc to be able to access from the internet. > You probably mean suffix? No I meant the prefix, see above.

- everdrive 6y ago>Prefixes shouldn't change, that's the whole point. They shouldn't, but they change all the time. I gave up on Ipv6 in my last house because of this reason: my prefixes were changing every few weeks. In my new household, my ISP doesn't even off IPv6.
