You are looking for NAT64.

On windows:

NAT64 Services (EU only)

If I got an IPv6 only VPS then I would connect it via VPN to my other VPSes and my home network. And then tunnel IPv4 via that VPN using the closest VPS, or my home network if it's closest, as IPv4 gateway.
You could also use a public VPN (or web proxy) service that can be reached via IPv6.
BTW on IPv6 only networks you usually use NAT64+DNS64 to reach IPv4 internet, but I don't know any free NAT64 services.
I think you can use Cloudflare as your proxy.
any tutorial or guide?
Create a CF account, add your Domain, add an AAAA record with your VPS IP, enable the proxy functionality and you should be good to go.
EDIT: Its probably not the thing you are looking for, this only helps if you host things on the VPS and you want to reach it from external. It does not help to get v4 connectivity on your v6 only VPS, NAT64 is a solution for that.
