 AddressFamily any

 ListenAddress 0.0.0.0

 ListenAddress ::

 ListenAddress [2001:bc8:2095:101::5]:512

I understand The server and your computer has IPv6 working correctly?

Can you ping the server's IPv6 address ?

You'll need to have IPv6 working on your client side to get into SSH of IPv6-only server.

That means he has to configure his pc first right?

And check if your ISP support ipv6, many still don't.
