# IPv6 in the home is dead easy. You only need to remember the last digit (unless you've got multiple networks, but most won't). You can ssh to any device by remembering that ".1" is router, ".2" is NAS etc. Firewalls are simple.

# You can buy a cheap domain and use it as your home DNS (eg "router.myhome.net" -> "2003:123:4:5::1") so it works anywhere! In the home or roaming (over VPN). I don't really need to run DNS at home. My domain runs on Cloudflare DNS, my devices use NextDNS (with rebind protection disabled for my home domain).

# I run OpenWRT and preallocate DHCP addresses for all known devices. Then I shrink the DHCP pool to a blacklisted range. A script automatically creates DNS records for all preallocated devices. If a new device appears in the blacklisted DHCP pool, I can manually allocate its MAC address a proper IP.

# It's easy to get TLS certs for any service in the house using the ACME DNS01 challenge.

There is literally no difference between v4 and v6 here.

So why bother with v6?
