Comment on VLAN’s and Subnets For Home Networks
jjlinux@lemmy.zip 4 days agoI’ve been trying to get my Unifi infrastructure force IPv6 addresses to all my devices at home (mainly laptops, PCs, phones and tablets, potentially media devices as well), but it has proven a huge challenge for me because of my ignorance on IPv6 and how it differs from v4.
For the time being, I have disabled everything v6 in my network, including my ISP provided ONT, but that leaves me with only the option of a commercial VPN when I’m not at home to try and block as much as possible (together with NextDNS for some added blocks).
I know I’m currently open on that front, and would love it if someone could tell me where I can go to try and understand v6 so that I can then make an informed implementation across the board.
Thank you beforehand.

The thing to know about IPV6 is that while being able to read the addresses and memorize the different kinds seem daunting, the implementation behind it is actually much simpler than IPv4 today.
The biggest mental hurdle to get over is that the way we use IPv4 today is informed by our need to work around the global lack of IPv4 addresses. With IPv6, it sorta turns back the clock to when every machine could just have a globally reputable IP address. Private reserved ranges for locks lans, NAT, etc aren’t necessary with IPv6

Thanks so much. I’ll start here. I really appreciate this.
