"The automatic change of IP addresses makes it harder for website owners to track your activities in the Internet. You can choose between two Telekom privacy protection levels. On level 1 your IPv6 address will be changed daily. On level 2 your IPv4 and IPv6 addresses will be changed every 4 days.
To make the protection function effective, your network device must have the option "Privacy Extentions" or "Get temporary IP address" activated."
I don't know what they're talking about, other than possibly changing DHCP addresses. Normally, on IPv6, addresses are assigned via SLAAC, where the router provides the 64 bit network address and the computer provides the 64 bit host portion of the address, using either the MAC address or a random number. You can configure openSUSE to use one or the other or both. Go to a command prompt and enter ifconfig to see the addresses. For IPv6, you should see link-local address, which starts with fe80. it will contain a modified version of the MAC address. You should also see one or more unicast addresses, which start with 2. If there's one, where the right end is the same as the link-local address, that one is the MAC based address. Any other, and there could be a few, that does not match the link-local address is based on a random number. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6#Stateless_address_autoconfiguration_.28SL... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
