    Why not? Isn’t there a dhcpd6 in Linux?

      Initial feature request was in 2012

    Ugh… still? I knew the mail app had shitty support for it and had to create an IPv4-only dns entry for my mail server, I didn’t realize the whole system was broken. Ah well, despite being an android user myself I would still place it in the bucket of “not modern” because there’s really no excuse for something like this.

      Probably via SLAAC. Android doesn’t follow the specifications for getting an individual DHCPv6 address

        Might be.
        Honestly I couldnt be bothered with IPv6 and learning all the intricacies. Plus having borderline OCD for symmetry and order on random things and objects makes me actively dislike the whole 50 adresses per device thing.

        But for real: Why even have an existing standard and not just use it at all.
        This is basically the Pingu meme saying “Well, now I am not doing it. >:(”
