I tried to set up IPv6 a while ago, and it looked simple at first. After configuring the router - just flipping "enable ipv6" in gui - my machine got 10 IPv6 addresses (why this many? I don't know). Cool.

I then set up the firewall to expose one of these addresses and I could ssh to my machine from the outside world. A win!

Unfortunately the win was short lived. Eventually I lost the ability to ssh in. It turned out that the 10 IPv6 addresses were replaced by a different bunch of 10 addresses. So I would have to reconfigure the firewall again. I decided it was too much work for me and disabled IPv6. Maybe some other time.

This is what dynamic dns is for. Your isp should have you covered there, and if not there are other free ones.

How does dynamic DNS help change his firewall rules?

How is that the fault of IPv6 over eg. your internet provider?

I did not blame anyone, just shared why it is not great for me.

Believe it or not this feature is intentional. It is for your privacy so you cannot be tracked by your IP address...
