NAT is a hack, and IPv6 fixes it. That’s the biggest difference between ip version 4 and ip version 6 for me.
But why’s IPv6 so scary-looking? Here’s a trick: `2001:db8::1` is way shorter than `2001:0db8:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001`. Just drop leading zeros and collapse consecutive zero blocks with `::`.
