Seriously, my knowledge ends with:
- It offers a shitload of IP addresses
- They look really complicated
- Something about every device in your local network being visible from everywhere?
- Some claim it obsoletes NAT?
I get that it’s probably too complicated a subject for an ELI5, so if there are good videos or resources explaining it in less than half an hour, feel free to share.
Yes, if you get a standard gateway defined, either through a DHCP server (pretty much all consumer router should have one running by default too) or SLAAC, you should be able to look it up through the settings in the GUI, too.
You’re welcome. I’m no big expert myself, but I’d say that most things aren’t so different from v4, once you understand how v6 addresses work and are configured (and that there is no broadcast address anymore).
