alt Hacker NewsIf anything, IPv6 is extremely easy to use, especially with SLAAC: On any kind of standard network, you turn on IPv6 on your machine, and, given physical connectivity, bam! You're on the internet.
It only gets complex if you try to micro-manage it.

the internet, in very large volume, disagrees. Am I not allowed to document the widely held common sentiment?

So, like ipv4, but you lose the protection and privacy afforded by the NAT?

Oh no, last time I asked on HN I got 24 to 48 easy steps involving a lot more acronyms than this (please don't repeat them).
IPv6 is easy to use only if you let your one router manage everything and you give up control of your home network.
Edit: again, please don't help. There have been HNers trying to help before, but my home network is non trivial and all the "easy" autoconfiguration actually gets in the way.
