You could use `connection.stable-id=random` instead, which generates a random MAC address each time a link goes up. +* `ipv6.dhcp-duid=stable-uuid` will prevent that the DHCP client identifier in IPv6 is looked up from a global lease file. The current default behaviour for IPv4 is to use the already random MAC as DHCP client identifier. * `ipv6.ip6-privacy=2` will cause multiple random IPv6 addresses to be used during every session (cf. [RFC 4941](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4941)). If you want to use a fixed IPv6 address based on the already random MAC address, choose `ipv6.ip6-privacy=0`. Leaving this setting at the default is not recommended as it is basically undefined. Also make sure that you have `addr-gen-mode=stable-privacy` in the `[ipv6]` section of your `/rw/config/NM-system-connections/*.nmconnection` files as this setting can only be set per connection.
