I absolutely hate how dependent we've gotten to IPv4. To the point that Amazon is charging almost $4 a month per IP. It used to be free. These assholes are buying IPv4 addresses so fast that they are literally driving up the price.

Is there a resource that you can recommend on learning IPv6 based on my knowledge on IPv4? A lot of resources I've seen are way over engineered for my feeble brain.

Like I know what IP addresses are and what port numbers are. I don't understand the difference between how IPv6 addresses are assigned (both locally and generally speaking) and what makes it different from IPv4.

I know it's not DHCP.

Edit: This post provides a link to a great summary for those who know IPv4 but need to learn IPv6.
