Re: [bitfolk] IP6 configuration

Hi Ian, It would be best to get out of the habit of using "ifconfig" as for quite some years now it has been unable to show all of the information that the kernel holds. It would be better to use: ip address show for this purpose. It can be shortened to: ip a if you wish, and you can also do: ip -6 a to only show IPv6 addresses as opposed to also showing IPv4 and MAC addresses. In this case though, ifconfig has shown enough to answer your question.

The "global" one is the one that you're able to use on the Internet. Every IPv6 interface also has (should have) one or more link-local addresses that only work on that local network. Yes, this looks normal. Does IPv6 work for you now? e.g. can you ping ipv6.google.com and other IPv6-only hosts? I would suggest removing your /etc/network/interfaces file on Ubuntu 18.04 and beyond as it is intended to use netplan to configure the network on that release. In past discussion on this list we've found that support for /etc/network/interfaces seems to be either non-existent or unreliable when netplan is in use, but here it seems that it got some IPv6 configuration from that file.
