Most of us may, at this point, have an IPv6 block allotment of /64.

How do you segment your network?
Online tools? If so which?

Do you do the conversion in your head? Whats your method?

IPv6?

It is this new fangled manner of the Internet Addressing rage, all the kids are doing it!

Typically in my head, but sometimes at https://www.vultr.com/resources/subnet-calculator-ipv6/

But a kid I am, no more.

Seriously, I have no need for IPv6. IPv4 works, still, and even though it may have some issues, they have not been a concern for me. Maybe when it gains popularity I'll have to do something, but I suspect there are a few billion out there just like me - sitting on the fence waiting for someone else to make the move. That said, I haven't turned it off.

A word or warning there, if your ISP also has it turned on, then all your machines could possibly be publicly accessible.

This is the reason I disable IPv6 on my home machines since NAT66 isn't an option here.

I use my fingers and toes. After that, I pull in the digits of a few random folks where ever I am.
Even a cat or two.
