I am glad, I am 99% sure it's the case, that I don't have to do CGNAT with ATT. Sounds like a pain.

I like ipv6 but I have been thinking of disabling it lately because i cannot technically setup static leases with ipv6 like i can with ipv4, so technically the ipv6 for one of the services in my homelab could change and cause problems.

SLAAC-generated addresses will stay the same so long as the prefix and your MAC address stay the same, so there should be no need to do static leases.

Also... service discovery. Needing static addresses is a kludge.

Android (phones, tv boxes) doesn't respect DHCPv6 IA_NA, but it should respect DHCPv6 IA_PD. Unless you have some other system that doesn't respect DHCP? Linuxes, Windowses, Playstation 5's support DHCPv6 IA_NA without problems.

But also, even if a device doens't support DHCPv6 IA_NA, you can always also have a DNS server in your network, and you can bind SLAAC-generated Android addresses to simple subdomains. This seems better than DHCP anyway.
