It's time to switch my home-network to #IPv6. What is the best way to to this? Also I care about my privacy and IPv6 has addresses derived from the MAC-address. Does "pricavy extension" help?

Any hnt for a guideline?

@kirschwipfel me too (no hashtag)! Same here. And I definitely need some #documentation, #howto and #tutorial. Too less knowledge so far.

@Photor @kirschwipfel What routers (hardware/software) and isp do you have?

Well, there are quite some questions in this regard: Shall I start changing the uplink or my LAN? Clients first of servers first? Will I still be able to reach the whole internet? Can I switch off IPv4 in the LAN after moving to v6, or do I need to keep v4? Same for the uplink.
(I assume more questions will come up while working on this)

You cannot switch off IPv4 completely because large part of web is *not* on IPv6. AWS & friends still consider IPv6 to be a "premium feature".

What you can do is disable IPv4 in LAN and enable NAT64 and DNS64 on the router but that's a workaround.

@kravietz NAT64 won't work for some services. I heard Spotify has problems with NAT64. Also it is way to complex to setup.

@kirschwipfel you are probably already using IPv6 and IPv4 in parallel on most of you devices. You are just missing the default route to "the internet".
