Unfortunately, it seems that support for automatically configuring multiple addresses is quite poor. Linux it can be done with NetworkConfiguration or Netplan: use SLAAC to get a GUA and DHCPv6 for a ULA. NetworkManager also seems to use both by default. Android does not support DHCPv6 at all. I don't know about Windows, iOS, or macOS.
- simoncion 2y ago> Unfortunately, it seems that support for automatically configuring multiple addresses is quite poor. What? SLAAC configures addresses on all -er- not-expired prefixes advertised on the link. So, if the border router advertises a ULA prefix and a globally-routeable prefix, SLAAC assigns two addresses to the computer. If whatever network-configuration tooling you're using causes your computer to not generate an address for every advertised prefix (and you've not told the tooling to behave in this way) then it's broken.
