Nice. In that case, you can of course use your router's global scope |
| 6 |
address in /etc/hosts or DNS. |

ULA support, or rather the ability to assign additional static IPv6 |
| 13 |
addresses to an interface, depends on the router's firmware. If you can |
| 14 |
make it work, https://cd34.com/rfc4193/ can help you generate a ULA |
| 15 |
prefix. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
ULA allows for fixed addresses, while SLAAC-based addresses expire and |
| 18 |
can contain random components, and that's why static name-to-address |
| 19 |
mappings generally use ULA. |
