ipv6 at home

2025/03/11

Hi Folks,

I’ve finally made the transition to using IPv6 at home! It’s been a long time coming, and while it took a few weeks to get everything working, I’m excited for this new chapter.

I requested a /56 from Verizon, and at first, it didn’t seem to work. But after not checking for a while, I noticed some of my VLANs had started handing out IPv6 addresses!

Right now, I’m running dual-stack since Unifi doesn’t seem to support an IPv6-only setup. I’ll be keeping an eye on future updates to see if I can fully transition off IPv4.

It’s definitely going to take some getting used to, and I’ll need to dig into best practices for securing an IPv6 network.
