Awesome! Thank you :)
I'm not super familiar with ipv6 yet, I thought this wasn't needed with ipv6 :)
Ie, addresses are so plentiful that they can be trivially static...

Routers may be intentionally configured to change their ipv6 every now and then, but that's more to avoid tracking (ie: for privacy reasons), so this addition could play well into that.
