Isn't that the dream of IPv6? Every member and device in your home trackable all the time?

Most devices should be using temporary dynamic IPv6 addresses, for this exact reason. I believe this is the default on most Linux distributions, not sure about others.

I felt quite let down when I realised Fedora which bills itself as "free & private" didn't use temporary addresses by default and I had to go hunting for configuration files to enable it as it's not exposed in the UI either.

Thank you for making it clear why IPv6 must not succeed. Long Live IPV8.
