No, it should usually look like v4, except in cases where you're using more address space and need to add more dots. NAT is here to stay, and a LAN doesn't need 128 bits of address space.

Like fd::1? Valid ipv6 that is shorter than an ipv4 address

Miiko3y ago

Nah, "1.1" is a valid IPv4 address (Cloudflare DNS) and it's shorter

Touché, I guess I should’ve said a typical v4 address. Short hand v4 addresses aren’t as common knowledge though

fd::1 is a reserved address. Did you mean fd00::1?

fd::1 == 00fd::1. The :: expands to fill the available bits with 0
