Did you know? Your device can rotate its IPv6 address while still advertising which network it belongs to. IPv6 temporary addresses (RFC 8981) change the interface identifier over time to limit address-based tracking, but leave the network prefix visible. A stable home prefix can still group the household’s traffic, and your router can still track the device’s addresses. Rotating an identifier is not the same as hiding your network. #privacy #cypherpunk
