> Now mobile providers and some ISP play gatekeeper … don’t allow you to keep any IPv6 devices (rotate assignments) so we end up with little benefit to the end consumer. I see this as a feature not a bug. Use dynamic DNS if you need a stable endpoint here. > The idea that a home user ca setup a desktop and share anything I want via IPV6 another person without the need for a middle man “cloud” provider just didn’t happen. You can, you likely just need to change the default firewall settings on a typical ISP provided router. > Corporate greed / government control have severely limited any usefulness of IPv6 at least here in the US I don't see how either of those have to do with this.

Dynamic DNS for example through cloudflare … is a middleman. Great effort has been taken to make obtaining a small block of IPv6 addresses difficult for the end user. It’s true a few isps will provide you a static up but most will not. https://www.arin.net/resources/guide/ipv6/first_request/ https://www.arin.net/resources/guide/ipv6/first_request/ In most implementations the end user sees no benefit from IPv6 or simply an isp using carrier grade NAT. When IPv6 first rolled out it was promoted as a way for everyone to easily obtain addresses .. reality is not so much. End user functionality crippled Or gatekeeped Hypothetically should be to host a simple file share of let’s say photos on a desktop and share using SMB or another protocol via IPv6. No need for cloud provider / iCloud Photos, Google or whatever. Just a direct connection with a desktop that stays on 24/7. This is not the case and effort has been made to make IPv6 really more of a useful protocol to mobile isps managing large numbers of new devices. IMO #lame

> Use dynamic DNS if you need a stable endpoint here. How do you tell an embedded device to push a DDNS update?
