I use a ULAs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unique_local_address https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unique_local_address) for this. I have a private, non-routeable subnet, and another non-stable prefix for globally routable addresses.
In effect, it's not much different than how IPv4 works with unstable WAN DHCP addresses from your provider, and I don't have the headaches that NAT brings with it.
It's a different way to think about the problem, but I've actually found it to be pretty nice.
- josho 4y agoThank you for this! I've been trying to make Link Local Addresses work (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link-local_address https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link-local_address). But, for tools like ping6 I have to specify the network interface like 'ping6 fe80::1%en1' otherwise routing doesn't work, and doing that complicates everything.
- thedougd 4y agoTry adding mDNS to the mix. Works pretty well for link local addresses.
- dmm 4y agoThat approach makes a lot of sense. Does your router assign each ULA or do you configure each host with a static one?
- hackeraccount 4y agoThis is the setup I've ended up on. Seems to work.
