I noticed today I couldn't ssh to my AWS server on IPv6, but could on IPv4. The reason turned out to be my home IPv6 address had changed. We have a static IPv4 but not IPv6.

 

Just curious if 2deg IPv6 addresses are meant to be static, and if they're dynamic when they tend to change? It's not a problem, just wondering.

If you have a static IPv4 with 2d, there's no extra cost for a static IPv6. You just have to request that you want this as well. Then you're assigned a /56.

Ever since Snap started offering static IPv6 (April 2015), we never assumed that all customers requesting a static v4 will want a v6, this is why you need to specify.
Back when it went live, we started offering a v6 with a v4 but were usually met with a "what's that?" or "I don't know why I would need that", so this sort of dropped off and customers only get it when they ask now.
