So, I have a good news, and a bad news.
Good news being - I honestly don't know how you were able to achieve
*that* IPv6 configuration in a primary network namespace, but in this
separate network namespace things look reasonable.
You have one RA-provided IPv6 address, which is normal if one disables
IPv6 privacy extensions (they are disabled by default, btw).


root@AbNormal:/home/comp# ip netns exec test ip -6 ro l
2600:1700:4280:3690::/64 dev net0 proto kernel metric 256  expires
1209439sec pref medium
fe80::/64 dev net0 proto kernel metric 256  pref medium
default via fe80::3e04:61ff:feb3:3c20 dev net0 proto ra metric 1024 expires
1639sec hoplimit 64 pref medium
And you have perfectly normal IPv6 routing table, with RA-provided
default route.


root@AbNormal:/home/comp# ip netns exec test traceroute -n
2a02:16a8:dc41:100::233
traceroute to 2a02:16a8:dc41:100::233 (2a02:16a8:dc41:100::233), 30 hops
max, 80 byte packets
  1  * * *
Which brings me to the bad news.
Whatever router you're using refuses forwarding your IPv6 packets.

It does not matter if it drops the packets, or sends your host some
"refused" messages via SNMP - the thing fails to perform its primary
function.

I deliberately stay clear from SOHO routers, regardless of whoever
produced them, so I cannot help you here. In fact, I choose mine with
exactly one quality in mind - an ability to run Debian. Which I
installed on it the moment they delivered me the thing.

Best advice I can give - get yourself something that can be flashed with
openwrt.
Until then - disable IPv6 on your router altogether, it's not going to
work.

I realoly hate to have to send this, but I had occasion to restart the OS and this is what Igot:

root@AbNormal:/home/comp# apt update

Then, after about 30 seconds I got:

Hit:10 http://security.debian.org/debian-security stretch/updates InRelease
Fetched 240 kB in 2min 0s (1,991 B/s)

Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
All packages are up to date.

Of course, the above becomes moot, after I disable IPV6.

I have three other devices on my router, a Desktop, a Laptop and a Printer. How will disabling IPv6 on the router affect them?
