Yes, it stops on my router. Probably the IPv6 privacy extension is broken on the Telekom Speedport W724V router. At least it's incompatible with openSUSE Leap 42.1. The privacy extensions are on the computer, not the router. Originally, IPv6 addresses were to be created using the MAC address. However, that meant an address could be traced to a specific device, even as it moved among other networks. Random number "privacy" addresses were then created, which will change periodically. Normally, the privacy addresses are used for outgoing connections and the MAC based for incoming. You'd configure the DNS to use the MAC addresses and also the firewall, to allow those incoming connections. If you use the privacy addresses in that manner, you will soon find yourself unable to reach

The router has an option for the IPv6 privacy extension (see page 83 here https://www.telekom.de/hilfe/downloads/bedienungsanleitung-speedport-w724v.p...): I translate it: "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."
