Show HN: A Short IPv6 Guide for Home IPv4 Admins


A Short IPv6 Guide for Home IPv4 Admins. GitHub Gist: instantly share code, notes, and snippets.

This guide is for homelab admins who understand IPv4s well but find setting up IPv6 hard or annoying because things work differently. There exists stateful DHCPv6 servers which can hand out full IPv6 addresses just like IPv4 DHCP, but Android does not support these, and are not needed for a fully functional IPv6 setup. For externally visible servers, you can match the last 64 bits only, so that changing prefixes don’t affect the firewall rules.
