Slaac does everything for you. You get dynamic public addresses that change (you can disable if you please). Nothing to deal with, just open a firewall port if you want to receive traffic

I want static addresses on my LAN, and addresses I can remember and easily recognize in a list. And I don’t want my devices to have unique addresses outside my LAN, especially not static ones. NAT is great.

You can statically number a LAN with fd00::/8 and NAT66 to the internet, if you really want to.

Heck you could set up a ULA or just use a range from your assigned prefix

Nothing stops you doing that with ipv6. NAT is complicated and unnecessary.

My brain stops me from remembering and recognizing IPv6 addresses. I can’t deal with long strings of hex. And why are people so against me running IPv4 on my own LAN? Do I make you sad? Do I ruin your day? I love IPv4, and NAT works perfectly fine for me. I’m not doing the translation, my router is.
