Ipv6 is broken for those that want control over their home networks thanks to Google and terribly written RFCs.
All that was needed was an extra byte or two of address space, but no, some high and mighty evangelicals in their ivory towers built something that few people understand 30 years later. Their die hard fans are sure that this will be the year of ipv6. The Year of Linux on the Desktop will come 10 years before the year of ipv6.
I want per device firewall and DNS rules for myself, the wife and the kids. With opnsense or pfsense I don’t believe this is possible with SLAAC, which is what android only supports.
Shove all devices on a flat network with no special firewall rules and you are probably golden. But trying to control your own network, last few times I’ve tried, is impossible.

I don’t see how? Works great for my home network.

Broken how? What parts are not commonly understood?

What did Google do? Just curious as I’m not into home networking
They refuse to support DHCP6 and will only use SLAAC on Android devices.
Do they only use SLAAC because it’s easier to tie devices to MACs and therefore identities?
And 10 years before fusion power?
is a /56 not enough address space for your home network
My home network is millions of ants with tiny little backpacks
you’ll never believe this
The backpacks themselves? I’m glad you asked. So, they each function on an actor model, where each potential state for each actor has its own address…
are there quintillions of states
No, actually tbh the address space is the least of my worries. At this point I’m gonna be honest, the ants just don’t wanna play ball
have you tried giving them tiny ant-sized balls
