Thanks. In the end I hardcoded the IPv6 address for the ISP gateway, since
I haven't seen it change often. I suppose I'll live to regret this.

The main part of my question was "how do I set up a measurement on my own
probe that runs forever" and I think the answer is "just use a user
measurement". I ended up setting up three ping measurements, each one
sending 4 packets each spaced by 15000ms, every minute, because that's what
will fit in my credit income.

It's strange that I can't send one ping every 15 seconds, but there you
are. Also, the visualization is not as nice as the built-in measurements
(why?) but it seems to do what I want.
