  2. Creating a Home IPv6 Network

    option ip6ifaceid '::ff'. ip6assign 'N' means you are a /N network (so this is always /64 for me) and ip6hint 'N' means use N as your subnet id and ip6ifaceid 'S' means use S as the IPv6 suffix (This defaults to ::1 so if you're OK with that, omit this directive). So given I have a 2601:600:8280:66d0::/60 prefix, the global ...
