• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Let's Talk IPV6

Technologically speaking though, they're identical. You LAN is just a tiny example of it. I don't understand the fear against extremely well established tooling. What do you do when guests come over? "Hold on, I need to consult my spreadsheet and give you an IP address"?

As I've previously mentioned, WiFi is the only thing on my network that uses DHCP, and I use WiFi very sparingly. Only things that absolutely have to move go on Wifi. Oh, and guests. Everything else gets a permanently installed fiber or copper link, and a manual IP address.

As of yet I have never had a guest who wanted to plug in via Ethernet.

I suspect instead of DNS you mean DHCP .... If it connects to the internet it is almost certainly using DNS.

Oh - and Google will never support DHCPv6. If you have many hours of time to kill, you can follow the drama here - https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/36949085?pli=1

TL;DR: one man's holy crusade against DHCPv6 that went so far as for him to write a RFC, and somehow get it through, that declares DHCPv6 to not be 'best practices' and therefore the justification for Android not supporting it properly.

My ISP doesn't do IPv6. I wish they would so I could start really playing with it. Also then I wouldn't have to play games with multiple firewalls to get multiple public IP addresses for certain services I run.

I think Hurricane Electric offers a VPN solution that would allow you to enable IPv6 on your internal network provided that you are not using a consumer router.

The Hurricane Electric tunnels work fine, but their IP ranges are getting marked as abuse because a lot of the legitimate users have left, and there's more abuse than not. This makes it less usable for outbound to Google and some other random sites captcha or just don't work.
