The only barrier for me to go IPv6-only is those VPS that are provided with a single /128 IPv6, and I do not know of a service that would offer IPv6 tunneling other than HE, that requires an IPv4 endpoint. The day I get a full /48 or /64 with my VPSes, I'm ready to drop IPv4.


A /128 is laughable and honestly insufficient. I believe OVH handed me a /128 at some point, which is why I used HE.

Every other VPS platform I've seen handed out at least /64s. You need a better VPS provider.


Amazon gives you more than a single /128. So your complaint is irrelevant if you actually use AWS.


Does your VPS assign you multiple ipv4 addresses? Otherwise seems like feature parity.

I use ipv6 everywhere, but I get annoyed when some features are missing.

For example, OVH won't let me transfer an IPv6 prefix like they do for IPv4. I thought I could just migrate my VMs to another box, but one of them had lots of clients with their own DNS/domains, so it was a huge pain to update.


OVH gives me a single /128. Spam whitelists are at /64 grsnularity, so I cannot use IPv6 e-mail. this is not parity!

I asked their support about this a year ago. They said they were discussing increasing the prefix size internally.

That kind of makes me want to move to Hertzner or another competitor.


Vultr/Linode offer a full /64. Linode even offers /56 with justification.
