How often does it change? I too have dynamic addresses, In        MV> theory. My IPv4 address has been stable for almost two years now. It        MV> only changes when the MAC address of the CPE changes. It can be stable        MV> for years. The IPv6 prefix changes a bit more often and there is no        MV> visible pattern. But it is only twice a year or so. Not often enough        MV> to bother with dyndns. On the rare occasion that it changes, I just        MV> update it manually. For a hobby system it is no big deal if IPv6 is        MV> occasionally down for a few hours.              Same here with my Cable connection.       Dynamic IP that changed 2 times in 22 years ;)              But I know that DTAG has even a page, where you can trigger an IPv6 network       prefix change.       But they also do it periodically.       Some of their customers see it as a "privacy" feature.              CU, Ricsi              ...
