We support providers that treat IPv6 as an essential service rather than secondary to IPv4.
It is honorable to halt sales when IPv6 isn't working.

What's the current status of this more pressing issue? :P
While this is a bit off-topic, I have a question to those who know more about IPv6 than I do. I could reach the server from outside (via ssh and ICMP ping) over IPv6, however from inside the VPS I couldn't reach any IPv6.
The output from ip a was the following:
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000
link/ether XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

I have no idea where the last two addresses (on some of my VPSes from @host_c there were even more) come from, I have set net.ipv6.conf.all.autoconf, net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_ra and net.ipv6.conf.all.use_tempaddr all to 0 and DHCP was disabled.
When I deleted the two addresses with ip a del ADDRESS dev eth0, IPv6 worked from inside the VPS, but after a few seconds those addresses reappeared.
But after some time (I think around 11 PM GMT+1), the addresses weren't added anymore and IPv6 works since then.
(This is no criticism in any way, I'm just interested in how that happened.)
Now my question is: where did these addresses come from and could I have disabled that?
If this is too off-topic, mods can maybe move this post to the cest pit.
Since you push IPv6 automagically through Router Advertisements for most(?) customers, why not just simply provide the "new IPv6 settings" in the Control Panel (under "Assigned IPs"), for the few customers clever enough to manage IPv6 manually?

For me it works since around 11 PM GMT+1 yesterday, but I didn't need to open a ticket.
For us IPv6 nerds (who manage IPv6 manually): should we power-off the server before or after opening a ticket? it's not clear in the mail.
Is there a time limit? What happens if we don't open a ticket by then? Service cancelled?

Nerds receive a ticket from us with the settings to set up ( "nerds" are identified by having custom install, 99% of the cases this is true, and most of them opened a ticket already )
All usual folks, we will set the new ip in cloud-init and issue a power-off / power on - they need to do nothing.

You can set IPv6 to "automatic" and see what happens... But it depends on the network whether it works or not.

DHCP will do nothing on our infrastructure.
There is no such service enabled.
Ip addresses are allocated / service by a provisioning module ( that started working as it should , hence the posibility to allocate a whole /64 rather rather then 1 /127 )
@tmntwitw said: I might be wrong, but for a single IPv6 address, the subnet mask should be /128 right?
not in our setup, this whole shit started ~1 year back.
Let me give you all an insight.
We used IP Manager 2 from ModulesGarden, at that was and is awesome for IPV4 but not for IPV6, it could not allocate a whole /64 ( from a /48 or any )
So we did a temporary work around, ( these usually bit you in the ass or in other sensitive places) by setting a /64 on each subnet we have, allocating a single IP from that /64 to customer ( as that worked in the module ) and wait out the update to IPMANAGER 3.
Update came ~2 months ago, but by that time we had give out a bunch of manually assigned /64's.
Each of these had :1 set up on the router and usually :2,3,4 for the customer - yeah, I know, lame, but it is what it is.
We ditched IP Manager 2 ~2 months ago ( that was fun as it was a ton of work so you all do not loos the already assigned ip's at the moment we selected disabled module).
And by the tests we did over the past 1 month we manage to implement the correct way to allocate a /64 from a /48 set up on each IPV4 subnet. ( all IPV4 subnets are separated at layer 2, each one has it's own broadcast domain and separate IPV6 GW + firewall stuff and other )
So when our ISP took out by mistake a /48 we used before for the old setup, I said to myself that this is as any good moment to do the implementation.
And here we are, modifying all to standard so we can ditch the " open a tiket for IPV6 /64 " and also this give us the following flexibility wise:
allocate multiple /64 IPV6 at product check-out
create IPV6 only services ( save a few bucks / year )
create IPV6 only products that can select to allocate one IPV4 address if desired by the customer at check-out
I know we are not winning loyalty points stopping your services, but we had 2 options on the table:
A. send out 500-600 E-mails so customers set up the new IPV6 setup or do a power off power on to auto apply the stings - all this when they read the email. - most probably this would taken 1 Decade
B. kill the old setup, we do all the work + some of you that have "nerd" setups - this will take ~1 week by our estimates.
I chose option B, and if you want to blame someone, blame me.
I really did not want to drag with us into 2025 an "improvisation" but rather start the year clean and focus on the more important stuff.

I will quote @imok
Rest assured that the "Marketing Department" has enough funds to sustain these crazy deals.
If you read the beginning of of this thread, I have stated that we have other measures of income also.
With that said, we will make some more
, on IPV6 only as that does lower the expense on this.
We tried to implement NAT64, but it did not go as expected , so we dropped it and focus on more important stuff.
We managed to fix the IPV6 problems ( almost all ) since last night so sales will resume shortly.
We need a little time-off by the way, so see you shortly.

I might be wrong, but for a single IPv6 address, the subnet mask should be /128 right?
This incident should definitely be recorded in HOST-C's history.

“If it can’t guarantee behavior under load, it doesn’t belong in production.”
Sorry but I am still a bit confused.
From your previous offers:
As I did not request for a /64 previously, will my "1 Dedicated IPv6 IP" continue to work?
Or does it has to be replaced with a /64?
