In Germany all bigger DSL providers still disconnect you once a day and issue new IPs. Bad for at home hosting, good for privacy.

- Wubdidu 4y agoIs that so? At least Telekom doesn't do that for IPv4 anymore. They do have a 24h dynamic prefix for IPv6 though (which feels very weird, considering they stopped doing that for IPv4)
- dark-star 4y agoThe ephemeral IPv6 addresses are just the IPv6 privacy extensions at work. They're just following RFCs I guess their router stack provides this for free, while the "Zwangstrennung" (disconnect every 24h) was implemented somewhere on their side. So it's actually easier now for them
- apk17 4y agoPartially. Telekom keeps up the line for months at a time. I guess that is due to telephony being done via VoIP, and they don't want to interrupt your late night calls. Others, even Congstar (which is a cheap telekom brand), do 24h disconnects with a new v4 address, and no v6 at all. The DSL I use gives me a fixed v4 and v6 range, but still needs to do the daily disconnects.
