A Short IPv6 Guide for Home IPv4 Admins

This guide is for homelab admins who understand IPv4s well but find setting up IPv6 hard or annoying because things work differently. In some ways, managing an IPv6 network can be simpler than IPv4, one just needs to learn some new concepts and discard some old ones.

Let’s begin.

First of all, there are some concepts that one must unlearn from ipv4:

Concept 1

rosetter() ( # Notice "(" instead of "{" for this function, see THIS IS A SUBSHELL FUNCTION comments below.

	# ABOUT ROSETTER
	# "rosetter" is a shell/CLI tool to enable (or disable) opening apps using Rosetta on Apple Silicon Macs (as if you had clicked the "Open using Rosetta" checkbox in Finder).
	# To enable opening apps using Rosetta, simply pass "rosetter" the app path(s) and/or bundle identifier(s) as arguments that you would like to enable opening using Rosetta (multiple app paths and/or bundle identifiers can be enabled at once).
	# To disable opening apps using Rosetta, include the "--disable" (or "-d") argument along with the app path(s) and/or bundle identifier(s).

How to Defang macOS System Protections

If you want to change things on the root drive of a Mac you will need to take some steps to disable the built in security of the system. Most of these steps are the same regardless if you are on Intel or Apple Silicon. If there is a difference it is noted.

Note that all of these things put a Mac into an unsupported and less secure state.

Make sure you either perform these steps in a VM or that you reset the protections after you are done poking around

Protections and Terms

(This list is not exahustive on the details of each. Check the links at the end for more info.)
