IPv6 Traffic Crosses the 50% Mark for the First Time

My next project, IPv6 in my homelab. It will be a challenge but it is time. My ISP gives me a static /48, I should use it.

I recommend going through Hurricane Electric's multiple-choice tests. It's not exactly a how-to guide or course, but it'll mention all of the terms and technologies you need to look up to get things right. They'll even send you a free T-shirt if you make it through all of them.

The most difficult parts for a homelab in my experience is getting Docker to play nicely. All of the other stuff sort of just works these days. Even things like using DHCPv6 prefix delegation to obtain a routable subnet is almost trivial with how well-supported the protocol is with modern networking software.

Where do I find that? https://www.ipv6.he.net/ has an invalid certificate and is the first result on Google.

Their www sub-subdomain is broken it seems.

https://ipv6.he.net/certification/ has instructions on how to get started.

You need to omit the "www" subdomain: https://ipv6.he.net
