4am@lemm.ee 6 months agoIPv6 typically assigns blocks to endpoints, not single WAN IPs (ie there is no NAT).
Changing this often would be absolute chaos for all connected devices, even if they’re configured correctly.

Yes ISPs do assign IPv6 blocks via Prefix Delegation, the thing is that Prefix Delegation is over DHCP. They’ll assign a block and if your router/device is restarts they’ll just give you a new prefix. In some even more annoying cases you can even get a new prefix whenever the lease expires.
