Assigning IPv6 To VM
Hi,
I new to whole IPv6 subnet, I got VM that has /64 IPv6 and I don't know how to assign one of the IPv6 to my vm interface, my vm provider use virtualizor panel for managing vm, I got screen shot of my panel:
Should I add IPv6 to above panel, and then use ip addr add ...:....:....:14a:1:1:1:1/64 dev eth0
or am I wrong? cause when I ping6 google.com
, I get connect: Network is unreachable

Better you contact your VPS provider to assign /64 block IPv6 to your VPS
You'll need to add it as mentioned, but you may need to add routing information to the VM. Your host should be able to help with this.
If your VPS comes with IPv6 then I believe it must have already been assigned by your hosting provider.
It show in panel that I have IPv6 but as I mentioned when I use ping6 I get above error
Is your OS installed from template or ISO, usually installed from template, it will configured itself. I think that UI is for adding extra IP...
ubuntu-18-04 also different than debian or ubuntu-16, take a look at this page: https://devanswers.co/configure-ipv6-ubuntu-18-04/
Run
cat /etc/network/interfaces
and see the result. For comparison here's result of my two VPS (having IPv6) where one is using DHCP while other static IP.I installed it from template
I check what you said and get below result it seems that my IPv6 that added using subnet, are now added but maybe it have routing problem.
Click on that pen icon, add your desired v6 , restart your vm, enjoy your life
I added as you can see from above picture, but I still get
connect: Network is unreachable
with commandping6 google.com
Contact your host as only they can solve this issue.
Boss,
Unless I am looking at the wrong picture, I didn't notice any IP being assigned, all saw was the subnet.
But please reach out to your provider as they will be the best one to answer your inquiry
Can you ping external IPv6 addresses from that box?
No I can't, as other mentioned I should contact provider, I thought It's was something silly that I don't understand, so I ask here for guide.
You have to generate your own IP address by using the last four octets
I did that, and restart my VM from control panel but still
ping6
won't workThe problem is with your VPS provider and not with your VPS then.
