Can I change my public IPv6 by changing my MAC address?

Question

There is someone messing around my system and every connection he uses a different IPv6, but it's always from the same ISP, at first I thought that he would have hacked some machines, but it would be very much of coincidence have just machines from the same internet provider. So I think he is using some kind of MacChanger and the ISP is giving him a new IPv6 every time he gets connected.

Does anyone knows how it could be done?

This looks like this is off topic, but you can change your ip by unplugging your modem for a short period of time. — Aiden Grossman, Jul 21 '17 at 02:02
He may not be able to change IP by restarting router. This stuff depends on ISP, IP per MAC static behavior is not rare case. — metamorphling, Jul 21 '17 at 02:11
@AlexandreFenyo I believe this guy is using Linux, I actually would like to know how would someone do it, doesn't matter the system, with this information I could think in a ways to mitigate it. — Paulo Souza, Jul 21 '17 at 19:12
@Paulo : Linux does not generate random IPv6 addresses for outgoing connections, but Windows does. So I think the OS may be the source cause of the problem. — Alexandre Fenyo, Jul 21 '17 at 19:49

See if your router supports MAC address masquerading. If it is you can try setting this to emulate another MAC address. And, as a result, get another IP address by DHCP.
