As always there are exceptions. Some individual IPv6 addresses belonging to mobile networks are shared, so always check the contributions. As an example, a /64 from AT&T Wireless in some regions will be shared by many users. A look at the volume of contributions will usually be enough to detect
109:. The basics are this: each connection that uses IPv6 has access to many IP addresses on a range, and for many users the individual IPv6 address can change frequently, sometimes even within an hour. The net effect of this is that blocks of individual IPv6 addresses can quickly stop being effective.

Some providers such as
Verizon Wireless have their customers float along much larger ranges. Blocking the /64 will not completely stop disruption from these ISPs, but it also won't really cause much collateral damage either. If you are uncomfortable with how IPv6 works, you

block ranges wider than the /64 because they get really wide really fast, but even if you aren't that technically minded, don't worry about blocking the /64. Just block it. Odds are, the people using it are who you want to block.
120:. For all IP address ranges, the smaller the number after the / the larger it is. In IPv6, this gets very large very fast. As an example, an IPv6 /60 contains 16 times as many addresses as a /64.

Type /64 on the end of the IP in the contributions box to bring up all the contributions for the range. You can generally assume this is one person/one physical location.
