With IPv6, the Internet works the way the it's supposed to, that is transparent end to end.
Unless you have only a /64. Please correct me if I'm wrong. You're wrong. Look at Carlos' setup and his trying to bend over backward to prevent public access. The size of your prefix allocation does not matter, those 2^64 addresses are all publicly accessible.
Even if you were somehow only given a /96, the same would apply.
I agree with Carlos, I don't want public access to my innards.
I expect we can all agree with that ....
I was unable to segment that /64 to separate physical interfaces on the router. /66 wouldn't work, for example.
You and Carlos are kindred spirits, you both have this uncanny knack for quietly shifting the goalposts :-) What has "transparent public access to a /64" got to do with your inability to split a /64 on your router, at the time? As has been mentioned once or twice over the last week, to work with less than a /64, you need dhcpv6. The stateless auto config will only work with /64. For my home network I use 2001:db8:7d68:1 - with two distinct subnets: 2001:db8:7d68:1:ff99:ffff::/96 - unknown/foreign/guest devices 2001:db8:7d68:1:ff99::/80 - known devices without static addr 2001:db8:7d68:1::/64 - static addresses. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (18.2°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes (2016 - present) We're hiring - https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Heroes
