- nftables is default to `ip` family which only applies to IPv4. Setting it to `inet` will allow rules to apply to both IPv4 & 6; or `ip6` for IPv6 only. You can skip NAT rules, usually.
- dnsmasq: in addition to DNS and DHCP, turns on router advertisement with SLAAC. Some devices can get IPv6 address from stateful DHCPv6 server, others (e.g. Android) only work with SLAAC.

- net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1
