I have a setup with Proxmox connected via Wi-Fi. Everything works for my needs and IPv4 connectivity too.

Now, I want to see if it is possible to do some DHCPv6 setup so that my virtual machines have IPv6 addresses as well. I'd prefer a setup without NAT, but it's not mandatory that it is so.

I'm taking a few options into consideration for IPv6 connectivity:

  • NDP Proxy. This one feels like it's the most "transparent", and I will get a public IPv6 address from the same network as the host, which is the main abcd:abcd:abcd:FFFF::/64 network.
  • DHCPv6 network. My router has DHCPv6, I can probably make my Proxmox instance request a network to use for its internal bridge (using prefix delegation). I'm currently using dnsmasq for the IPv4 addresses of virtual machines, but I believe I can replace it with something else.
  • NAT. I don't want this option, but I also won't decline it completely either. The reason why I cannot just connect the Proxmox bridge in bridge mode to my LAN (which would have made things significantly easier) is the fact that I cannot bring in a wired connection, so I have to use Wi-Fi (thankfully at least it's 5 GHz and there's no need for much traffic most of the time) and Wi-Fi client doesn't support bridges.

So here is my request for advice. Thank you in advance.
