Now, the upstream (ISP-assigned) prefix changes to

need to be changed, and that includes ip6tables, in this case these
rules now need to refer to 2001:6b2f:1705:0000::/52,
2001:62bf:1705:1000::/52 and so on.

Won't this break existing tcp connections if all of a sudden you get a
new address?


Yes. Welcome to the brave new world of IPv6. One of many reasons why IPv6 IMO is seriously misdesigned, but it's what we have and we no longer have the time to do anything else.
