Your hosts will also use SLAAC to determine their permanent 'management' address, that's the one you use for connecting _to_ them.

The 'management' address won't be used as the source addrrss packets originating _from_ the host unless the use of temporary/privacy addresses is disabled.

I need to remove IPv4 from my home network so that I can finally try and understand all mechanics around it properly.
If you've not seen it before - check out https://ipv6.he.net/certification/ - it's a pretty neat basic IPv6 training course.
As a matter of fact I'm an "enthusiast" already, but since I was using the HE tunnelbroker I was banned from several services, I'll have to get a VPS with a /56 or smth and wireguard over it. I'm a bit uncertain still about MTU so I'm thinking about just fragmenting stuff on 1500 and take the penalty hit (still can't get v6 in most of residential Sweden)
