I tried to set up IPv6 a while ago, and it looked simple at first. After configuring the router - just flipping "enable ipv6" in gui - my machine got 10 IPv6 addresses (why this many? I don't know). Cool.
I then set up the firewall to expose one of these addresses and I could ssh to my machine from the outside world. A win!
Unfortunately the win was short lived. Eventually I lost the ability to ssh in. It turned out that the 10 IPv6 addresses were replaced by a different bunch of 10 addresses. So I would have to reconfigure the firewall again. I decided it was too much work for me and disabled IPv6. Maybe some other time.
- kaba0 5y agoHow is that the fault of IPv6 over eg. your internet provider?
- benttoothpaste 5y agoI did not blame anyone, just shared why it is not great for me.
- BruiseLee 5y agoBelieve it or not this feature is intentional. It is for your privacy so you cannot be tracked by your IP address...
- jppittma 5y agoThis is what dynamic dns is for. Your isp should have you covered there, and if not there are other free ones.
