Recently i had enabled IPV6 on my router. All of the devices have a public IPV6 address. The experience is mixed. Noticing ads being pushed , though i have adblocker and devices are configured with proper DNS entries. If anyone of you have enabled IPV6 , would like to know your experience and best practices for Home devices w.r.t security, DNS etc. Or should I just stick to IPV4 for home devices.
 
Better to have v6 than v4 - there should be a small performance boost.

Coming back to security - there is NAT and then there is the firewall. For v6 you need to configure the firewall properly to allow outside access to your devices - if allowed. There is no NAT (usually) in v6.

Your devices have both v4 and v6 address. So you should be able to manage them with ease.

We had enabled v6 in our office. Did not find it of much use. @superczar is another with v6.
