wait, asking IPv6 from racknerdcrossing?
Sorry, the sequence of the screenshots may be mixed up
If it helps, I think they are only able to offer IPv6 in Chicago.
they have on .LA location
Well.. he is not wrong (a lot). Depending on Distro/ping version ping -6 is not needed. So before accusing, check facts
This is example on almost up-to-date Arch

Racknerd supports IPv6 in some locations, and my vps is in Los Angeles DC02
Yeah, -4 and -6 are only needed to force it to one or the other.
Fucking lmao
They go as script said, no one in script said to validate if this is really IPv6. Pings? Pings! Screenshot, done.
Also, do you have IPv6 NS's at all ? "returns an error" what kind of error ?
While you're not wrong. This is irrelevant in this case. The console logs the support agent pastes into the ticket shows they can't seem to understand the difference between IPv4 and IPv6.
ThIs Is SoMe HiGh QuAlItY SuPpOrT
And now my vps has NO IPv6 public address at all. I have to wait for @dustinc because I don't think the current one can solve this problem.
My VPS in Los Angeles DC02 only has IPv4
My VPS in Chicago, IL has IPv4 and IPv6
AFAIK anything that's on colocrossing is IPv4 only.
Outsourced support, what more would you expect?
I have another racknerd vps in LA DC02, and the staff successfully configured IPv6 for me. It's easy to configure a static IPv6 address for my vps, isn't it?
You should wait for Elon Musk than
When you find the magic words to get support to do that, please tell me then!
Check with Racknerd's knowledgebase.

I don't use RackNerd, but the article says they have IPv6 available in LA DC02.
Maybe they use HE's IPv6 tunnel. Maybe they have actual IPv6 infrastructure in these locations now. I don't know but all the documentations says they have IPv6 in LA DC02. You're the only person in this thread that I can think of that says otherwise, so if you have something from RackNerd about the lack of IPv6 in LA DC02 then let us know.
Actually Multacom, the colocation provider of LA datacenters, provides IPv6 by default, but the IPv6 address is not publicly routed. I've successfully enabled IPv6 access on another vps after submitting a ticket.
Thanks for the further context.
Seems like @ralf was misinformed then. Native IPv6 is supported at this site.
But it's required if you're testing IPv4/IPv6 connectivity. Obviously the staff does not know how to use it.
What a terrible crime!
in "some" means in 1 location? or do they have other too where they provide ipv6 ?
pay peanuts get monkeys --some guy
Of course my NS(Google 8888) supports IPv6
RackNerd has a very solid reputation in the industry and within this community for providing competent, fast and consistent technical support. We truly do invest in our team and strive to provide a support experience that our customers can count on, no matter the time of day. Support is a very critical part of any IT business including web hosting, and we at RackNerd fully understand that.
This is not to say we’re perfect - we’re all human and the IT/server industry definitely has a very wide spectrum to cover when it comes to technical matters, though I will say our error rate is extremely low as a result of active management, for example - ensuring we have a shift supervisor available on every shift. To provide additional behind the scenes context with regards to the happenings within our support department, in the past month alone, we’ve onboarded more staff to our team than we did in the past 6 months. This means as part of that growth, there is going to be some margin for incorrect support handlings if something may have slipped through the cracks (or was not covered) during training (though not relevant to this particular matter, as an example, just because one candidate may be familiar with Linux or servers, does not necessarily mean they will be immediately acquainted and familiar with RackNerd’s specific procedures, or the hosting industry “lingo” right away).
I do regret this particular incident was not handled 100% properly, and this appears to be partially a mix of what another community member @amarc pointed out here. On most distributions, ping -6 isn’t needed, and Andrej in this case failed to analyze the full result before sending his response off to the end-user. I did speak with our night shift supervisor regarding this matter and we will be taking the appropriate measures internally to ensure something like this does not repeat again. Most importantly, we will be following up with @sots via ticket with a resolution.
By the way, we provide native IPv6 capabilities in our Los Angeles DC-02 location (which OP is deployed in), and several others for our bare metal product line. However, customers in other locations can benefit from tunneled IPv6 service via tunnelbroker.
@sots you just got that rep fired
Meanwhile other providers : “here is your $8 refund and $4 fine for creating ticket“
