Is anybody using only IPv6 in their home lab? I keep running into weird problems where some services use only IPv6 and are "invisible" to everyone (I'm looking at you, Java!) I end up disabling IPv6 to force everything to the same protocol, but I started wondering, "why not disable IPv4 instead?" I'd have half as many firewall rules, routes and configurations. What are the risks?

And that is the biggest problem it is different then ipv4 and you have to learn new stuff. My worst was up keeps changing the prefix so I had to find out how to write an allow rule that ignored the prefix and only allowed the end but since they always stayed the same.

What do you mean up keeps changing the prefix?
