Static IPv6
I recently switched to Telus and have run into the issue of my IP address changing regularly. The problem with that is I do a bit of Google Analytics tracking on some websites - I filter out my inter...
Yes. The prefix is unique to you and should only change infrequently. The same prefix apples to all nodes in the local area network (unless you set up subnets, which is beyond me).
You can select your own static IPV6 alias by setting it in your network settings on the device. You could pick the one assigned to you and or just change the last group of digits in the IP to anything you want. It works. With IPV6 there is no NAT. It is public facing. No one can stop you from hosting on an IPV6 address. Make sure you use stateless IPV6 and the firewall is off for only IPV6 in the router. Firewall is not needed for ipv6. These addresses are so long you don't have to worry about port scanning and most clients will grab randomized addresses every so often including windows 10.
