I recently configured ipv6 on my home network. These are quite long threads, but I received a lot of help from the community and we got everything working correctly.
Hi,
I recently renewed my 1Gbps fibre with my ISP and was switched to a CGNAT connection. I asked to be switched back to a Dynamic IP and they have kindly actioned my request.
This got me thinking about futureproofing my network. I don't think there are any guarantees that I will remain on a Dynamic IP in the longer term. CGNAT appears to be the only way newer ISPs can expand, so I will probably be forced to move to ipv6 at some point.
I've dipped my toe in the water by creating a new ipv6 WA…
Hi,
I have ipv6 fully working on my internal network, but I've encountered an issue relating to my ISP's use of dynamic ipv6.
The ipv6 addresses, issued to my local devices, incorporate the /48 network assigned by my ISP. When a new ipv6 /48 address is issued by the ISP, this breaks ipv6 on my internal network. I have to disconnect/reconnect the local devices to force them to receive a new ipv6 address in the new range.
Is there a way to automate this in OpenWrt - i.e. the router detects an i…
I've recently enabled ipv6 on my home network and everything is working well.
My ISP assigns a /48 address and my router is automatically assigning /64 addresses to my vlans.
Is it possible to assign static IPs to my devices using the /48 path that I control and then port forward to that relative path.
For example, if the IPs have this format:
isp.isp.isp.vlan#.local.local.local.local
Can everything from the .vlan#. be static with port forwarding rules that target specific devices?
