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.
His problem is with his firewall, not IPv6. I use pfSense and I can set up an excellent firewall for 1 /64 or 256.
And my ISP giving dynamic prefixes, which prevents many of the possible IPv6 uses.
Perhaps some yes, but depending on what you have in mind, it might just mean a bit more effort. What sort of "possible IPv6 uses" do you have in mind? Note - having a fixed prefix is _certainly_ much easier, but having one that regularly changes can be worked around. Besides, does it actually change in running operation? ie. does it change if you don't reboot the router? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (18.2°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes (2016 - present) We're hiring - https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Heroes
