My IPS changes my prefix once in while. I consider this a privacy feature, not a bug. Now I find myself in a situation that my devices are not reachable anymore as when the IPv6 address changes and both DNS entries and firewall need to be u

Let's say when your ipv6 prefix changes it is almost the same situation. Only that ipv4 bundles all traffic of all devices on one ip which obfuscates a bit. But having the ipv6 prefix change you get a pile of problems (DNS, firewall),

Never checked. But it does change once in a while. The router has a dyndns function which updates a DNS entry, but only for the router itself. But this is sufficient for the NAT port forwarding.

Router has a DynDNS function. I am using a reverse proxy for multiple services, but this only sets up router IP and IPv4 NAT port forwarding to the reverse proxy. So what would be the correct setup with IPv6 when using privacy extensions?

Currently my IPS provides IPv6, but I set up my firewall in the access router of my home LAN to block all IPv6 in both directions. - I don't want to have a permanent global unchanged ipv6 as in id of my traffic. - IPv6 privacy extens
