Which VPS providers would you suggest for proper IPv6 support? Thanks!


As others have mentioned, Digital Ocean and Linode would probably be good options here.

If you're looking for something even smaller and cheaper than $5/mo, I've had luck with BuyVM. They've very cheap, have good customer support, a nice panel, and you get an entire /64.


Linode. Its in enough places it can be local to you, it has the beginnings of a machine deployment method which can go into kubernetes if you want, it does true IPv6.

I use Linode for work, and a local provider (binary lane) with a /56 for personal at $10 a month or less each.


Maybe Digital Ocean? Vultr? I don't really follow the VPS market.


Both will give your VPS a "home" IPv6 address, but if you also expect to receive an IPv6 prefix/subnet, DO only gives you a /125 per VPS (8 IPs). I moved my VPN nodes to Vultr for that reason; they give you a /112 (65K IPs) per VPS.

Neither DO nor Vultr actually routes the assigned prefix to your VPS, so you have to run something like ndppd [1] to answer NDP queries for IPs in the IPv6 prefix you've been assigned if you want the local router to send your VPS any traffic on those addresses.

It's actually a /64 at Vultr.


My DO control panel says /124


tilaa.com and vultr spring to mind. I'm using them with IPv6 and it work's relatively flawlessly with tilaa.
