Well, please excuse me as I haven't had to configure my DNS for years since my v4 and v6 addresses don't change unless I change hardware. But, if I remember right, when I first setup my domain, I remember there being "@" in a bunch of settings (for example "www.pharcyde.org" pointed to "@") .. which now that I'm writing it out I think this had more to do with aliases and CNAMEs, and am confusing that with this discussion. :|

I rocked an Asus AC68U up until only a few years ago. I'm fairly certain with the default firmware on that router you could enable IPv6, but you couldn't configure anything to do with it. It may have even warned you that enabling it would open it completely to the public. Of course, when I originally realized that I changed firmware, until it ran it's course and I eventually upgraded to an AX88U Pro.
