Re: Shifting to IP6 properly?

You'll be relieved to learn that IPv6 has had privacy extensions for more than a decade, enabled by default nowadays. They use temporary addresses: randomly generated addresses are used for outgoing connections, and they change regularly. So, it's actually quite difficult to tie a specific user to a single address.
