Lowend providers don’t like giving it because it adds complexity such as bloating their routing table with additional entries (which can strain their network infrastructure when accumulated) and increasing support requests from users who don’t fully understand how to implement routing correctly and end up complaining..
While it’s not technically difficult for them to provide, the added burden often isn’t justified by the (sometimes very) low price you’re paying. However some providers may still give it upon a polite request.
We just lost IPv4 connectivity in the house.
Something is wrong with the ISP.
Google, Facebook, and the green forums seem to be fully working on IPv6 only.
Twitter, Reddit, and Discord are unreachable.
Dang, i had the opposite situation.
I've just changed the ISP provided router to my new Grandstream one, now I lose my ipv6 connections
Not to mention 3 days ago a strong wind break their fiber optic cable to my home .....
I'm looking at virtualizor to create VPSs. Will I be able to add the /64 as a IPV6 pool and they will then be assigned to the VPS where SSH into it would work?
yeah, me
It means you get a full /64 IPv6 subnet, so you can assign as many IPv6 addresses as you want. And yes, they're usually free.
I once consulted some physical server providers whether they could route large ipv6 subnets such as /32 to a smaller /64 or /126 subnet on their upper-level routers, and then I could implement the ipv6 route block function mentioned in virtfusion. Thus, vm products with route ipv6 are provided for customers. However, if the number of VMS is very large, it will obviously increase the structural complexity of the upstream routers of the provider, and I cannot adjust these routes at any time by myself. So is it possible to set up a router virtual machine (using vyos/pfsense,ros) on the physical server when there is a large subnet (/32) and a small subnet (/64) on the physical server, and let this virtual router take over the ipv6 allocation and routing of other VMS? In this way, I can achieve the same requirement without relying on suppliers to adjust their upstream routers
thank you for the definitive an succinct response
