I finally got IPv6 working on my home network with a custom Linux router. It's pretty neat. I wrote a full tutorial:

Looks good, like it.

Just a question: Why do you use IPv6 public addresses and not ULA?

@IntrusionCM because ula are local?
The main advantages of ipv6 come with the global address.

@stop maybe that's the point why I'm asking.

You're essentially giving up the restriction between private and public which is in my opinion a bad idea.

Hence my question, as I'm not having much up to date knowledge of IPv6 and would be interested to hear the author's opinion.

@IntrusionCM The whole idea behind IPv6 is that you shouldn't need to NAT (which you would need if you used local linked addresses). Typically your IPv6 address rotates too; on Windows in ipconfig you'll usually see a list, so that provides a measure of privacy as far as individual device fingerprinting.

That being said, I have implemented IPv6 NAT before for Docker containers, just to get a consistent implementation of both the IPv4/IPv6 stacks to simplify networking:
