- teddyh 4y agoRight, thank you for the update. Personally, I don’t feel the need for privacy at this level of the protocol stack, and if I did, I would not consider IPv6 Privacy Extensions to be adequate. Also, I might like to keep TCP connections alive for more than a day. Therefore, I personally prefer regular MAC-based SLAAC, or even hard-coded addresses, over randomized and rotating addresses.
