> You don’t need your ISP to assign a static prefix just to have static addresses on your home network. Instead choose your own prefix inside the fd00::/8 block.

I do have a ULA network I chose for myself. But when I'm not at home I would like to be able to reach things I self host (e.g. my Navidrome server), and I need routable IPs for that. My /60 from Comcast is stable but not guaranteed to be static, and it would be nice to have a truly static allocation so I won't run into the need to redo my DNS records if Comcast ever changes my prefix. I know I could script something to do that, but static is a bit nicer.

I have an ipv6 only wireguard connection from my phone to my house which is also comcast. Lets me hit my ULAs just fine.
Ah, of course. They probably want you to pay extra for that. :)

An HE.net tunnel has advantages, but they’re also quite bandwidth–constrained. If you need anything more than ~1MB/s then you should build something yourself instead.
