I stand corrected.               de> I've not heard of ISP's selling single static IPv6 addresses - I        de> thought most gave you a /64, /60 or /56 as part of the service you get        de> with them.              I wouldn't know. Here in the US, it is exceedingly difficult to find a large        ISP that supports IPv6. All of the large ISPs have a significant investment        in IPv4 with NAT/CGNAT and are -very- hesitant to change.              It's so much so that all of my computers have IPv6 disabled as there's no need        for it right now.              A side note: here's an interesting opinion article about why IPv6 hasn't had        wide adoption yet in the past 25 years of its existance:       https://www.theregister.com/2022/01/24/opinion_column_ipv6/              This is quickly becoming off-topic so netmail is welcome or we can move this        somewhere else.              Are you an amateur radio operator?              -- Sean KS4TD              ...
