Whitelist my home IPv6 network in Cloud Firewall?

Posted on February 27, 2020

Yesterday, I whitelisted my computer’s IPv6 address for SSH into my Droplets. Today, my computer has a different IPv6 address. The first 64 bits are the same (“network part”?) and the last 64 bits have changed (“host part”?).

I have two questions:

  1. Given my IP address or information available on my router, is it possible to tell the range of IP addresses any host on my home network might be assigned?
  2. Given that range, can I whitelist it in Cloud Firewall?

Thank you.
