They refuse to support DHCP6 and will only use SLAAC on Android devices.

Ipv6 is broken for those that want control over their home networks thanks to Google and terribly written RFCs.
All that was needed was an extra byte or two of address space, but no, some high and mighty evangelicals in their ivory towers built something that few people understand 30 years later. Their die hard fans are sure that this will be the year of ipv6. The Year of Linux on the Desktop will come 10 years before the year of ipv6.
No one in 2025 has read all of that article.

123·10 months agoIf you want people to pronounce your project name correctly you should spell it that way. Having a FAQ on pronunciation means you’ve messed up and lost already. Want it to be called “Engine X”? Call it “Engine X”.
My favourite is SAP not wanting people to call it Sap but to spell it out S.A.P. Well sorry, but it’s a CVC word, literally the first kind of word everyone learns.

I want per device firewall and DNS rules for myself, the wife and the kids. With opnsense or pfsense I don’t believe this is possible with SLAAC, which is what android only supports.
Shove all devices on a flat network with no special firewall rules and you are probably golden. But trying to control your own network, last few times I’ve tried, is impossible.
