Indeed, that's correct ula usage, but shouldn't need nat rewriting. The global prefixes just need to be advertised by RA packets

I use openwrt on my home network which uses dnsmasq for dhcp. It can give a static suffix which just works with the global prefix on the interface and the site local / ula prefix it uses

Note that Android doesn't support DHCPv6, just in case you have Android devices and ever have to debug IPv6 on them.

[–] Thiakil@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

Yup indeed. That's why it advertises both dhcp and slaac

Yeah I'm not using NAT, sorry for the confusion.

My router doesn't support RAs for a ULA range though, so I'm running radvd on my home server.
