IPv6 is supported natively on our servers in San Jose, Chicago and Frankfurt using a combination of Router Advertisements and DHCPv6.
Each client is entitled to a /64 block and you will be assigned an address automatically within your block if you follow these instructions.
- Install dibbler-client, a DHCPv6 client (e.g. apt-get install dibbler-client for Debian).
- If a question appears asking whether you would like the Dibbler client to run when the system is started, choose Yes.
- If a question appears asking what interfaces should be configured, type eth0.
- If a question appears asking what additional parameters should be obtained, ensure that dns is checked.
At this point, your VPS should have been assigned an IPv6 address within your /64 block. To see this, type ifconfig eth0 | grep Global to see what this is. Additionally, IPv6 DNS servers will also have been configured, as can be seen by typing cat /etc/resolv.conf.
