@_bapt_ this VPS runs 15.x. To be honest I only run 14.x currently, it’s my first 15.x in the wild.

@brendan @robinp it hides it, but doesn't protect it. More, there are those "hey open this port for me!" (like upnp) and routers that will gladly obey to them.That's why I say it's not a security feature. I can be, but not something I'd rely on.

Hey #IPv6 folks: If I do NOT have a /64 assigned to me and only have a single IPv6 assigned, am I better off adding fd00::/7 addresses to the jails and then NAT'ing to them like I do with the IPv4 addresses?I don't think I have any other kind of choice here.#FreeBSD #networking

Florian Obser (florian@) recently gave a BSD-NL talk entitled "Let's find out how to get predictable IPv6 addresses assigned to OpenBSD VMs". Florian takes us on a guided tour of how inet6 autoconf actually works, with enlightening and entertaining peeks into selected piece of OpenBSD source. At the end, we are asked to "now, draw the rest of the owl". https://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article;sid=20260512115225 slides: https://www.openbsd.org/events.html#bsdnl2026 video: https://exquisite.tube/w/38gDYhMNTNZimk3GcFnHNa
