I have been using IPv6 since 2009 both on my server and at home. Some time this year I got a new uplink at home and with that a new router from mikrotik. I ran into some kind of bug with autoconfiguration though which might be the issue explained in [0]. I didn’t have the time to figure that out exactly at the time and just disabled IPv6 altogether. I reenabled it now after upgrading to a new routeros firmware and will see how it turns out. I appreciate you asking the question like you did! IPv6 needs more proponents and implementors. Things have been going way too slow!
