My work has IPv6, and my home has IPv6.

If I need to connect to my home Fedora machine from work, a simple "ssh fed.nono.io" works just fine — I don't need to activate my Wireguard VPN; I don't need to worry about address space collisions.

That is because your provider is nice and gives you a static pre-fix. Around here, all the providers give dynamic IPv6 pre-fixes to prevent people from running servers. This is partially why some see Ipv6 as a advantage, and others see it as nothing but trouble. We still have the whole Ipv4 CGNAT disadvantage, with the added complexity of Ipv6 on top.
