Is there a specific reason you strictly need static ipv6?

Has anyone figured out how to make android use a static IPv6 address? If I have to run a reverse proxy on a real PC, I may as well just host the website from that PC.

Android changes its IPv6 address daily. That makes it kinda hard to host anything on it. SLAAC would be fine too if it was a stable address.

Does it do that even if you set it to “use device MAC” for the wi-fi network you’re on?
The exact location might depend on brand/OS, but in stock Android it’s in Settings > Network & Internet > Internet > gear icon next to active wi-fi network > Privacy.

That hasn’t stopped the addresses from changing on any of the devices I’ve tried it on.

If you’re using SLAAC for auto IP assignment, then the resulting EUI-64-based address would be essentially static, based on the premise that your MAC address and local subnet prefix don’t change. Privacy extensions night get in the way, as well as Android’s randomized MAC feature, but those are adjustable.
