Raspberry Pi IPv6 Router

• Hey Paul. Excellent vid, mate. You've got a great pace and flow I reckon. I'm wondering though, that /48 prefix you were given, what would happen if one day the ISP handed you a different one?
  Edit: perhaps one's local IPv6 dhcp could dynamically consider the prefix.

• Wow that was a very interesting video full of good informations! Thank you

• As far I know Android dont support ipv6 via DHCP, so only RA.
  I have it setup this way.

• One reason some big companies avoid IPv6 is that you still need to be on the IPv4 Internet, so why introduce extra work and extra attack surface by also being on the IPv6 Internet?

• I suggest NOT using DHCPv6 to hand out fixed IPv6 addresses to all your devices. You still have fixed IPv4 addresses you can use to reach them from your LAN.
  If you use SLAAC and enable RFC8981(or 4941) privacy extensions it will, at least to some extent, hide which particular device is connecting when one of your devices connects to something using IPv6.

• soft?

• I'll be surprised if BoM is IPv6 before the end of the century 😂

• I've heard Aussie's say both route-er and root-er… interesting you're a route'man spicy!

• Great work as always. Interesting stuff.

• yes

• "Welco-"

• again I am just a beginner. I record so softsetups and a Microkorg, even use it as a midi keyboard. But the problem arrives with content

• dude you look like jack manifold

• Everyone, it's been a year since I ca to tNice tutorials video, and my progress is amazing.

• Great vid Paul – demystified some of IPv6 quite nicely. Hoping there's a followup vid in another couple of weeks or so, showing us your experiences trying to work around the big boys that haven't taken it up yet. With teenagers in the house, I'm still very reluctant to move away from my nice, comfy IPv4 setup.

• Best plain English and well broken down into logical parts explanation of ipv6 I’ve seen. Thanks Paul.

• what i dont like is if the isp has to give you a different prefix, then you have to reconfigure everything!

• Hats off to you TP!

• I wonder what they're doing to prevent Mac address limits….
  Great that you have 80bits to play with, but what about the table limits?
  😂

• Great video, can you add Tor to this Pi Router ?

• for in house testing , i use abba::n/64 where n is the last number of the previous fixed ip4 ip address (or babe::n/64)
  seems my isp now giving out ipv6 and my tp-link uses it, chromebook says loading …

• I've mostly avoided ipv6, and likely still will. As you've pointed out, a lot of big tech doesn't work with it. And your MAC address is part of your IP address. Which in our modern age of tracking and big government, is scary. Not that our IPs are dynamic anymore. But there's a distinction between tracking you down to a household, and tracking you down to a device. You lose the ability to say your neighbor did it, or even your ex-girlfriend. Guilty until proven innocent, and big tech is more trusted than you. Trying to educate law enforcement, judicial peeps, or a juror, that you are NOT guilty is mission impossible. But your honor, that's a 6 not an 8, and that's a 9 not a 6. Meh, close enough for us and we trust Big B. Enjoy your new jump suit, see you in twenty years…

• One other thing that would be interesting to check, does your switch actually use Multicast or does it just broadcast all multicast packets anyway?

• Is your pi on a router specific distro or just plain Linux?

• what a coincidence, I finished the ipv6 lesson today.

• Just wondering while you were setting this up/testing it, did you get any complaints from the other people in your house? 😄

• The DUID option chosen was "physical address plus time, DUID-LLT". Does it persist across reboots with Linux so your router reservations will be good for all time?

• 6to 4 stuff is interesting mix and match, nice vid BTW

• The resistance to change will go when the old guard retire.

• Beautiful ! Thank you, I need to play a bit with IPv6

• All I can think during this video is what was making you laugh right at the start.
  The hieroglyphics on the whiteboard don't seem to have any jokes in them, so I'm out of ideas
