Last i checked, they still issue a single IPv6 address to each droplet (eg a /128, not a /64) and silently block certain ports on IPv6, so no.

- IgorPartola 8y agoWell, I guess they will continue not getting my money then.
- jbrooksuk 8y agoCan someone explain the significance of this?
- jagger27 8y agoIt's basically a non-standard use of IPv6, which is to ideally issue a /64 to each end point. Personally I don't mind, but some people think they need 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 addresses per host. The idea being with all those addresses you can create subrouters to manage your network topology. Unless you're doing some weird tunnelling setup through your VPS, I can't see why you'd need or want such a huge block. People complain about only getting a /64 on their home routers. Blocking certain outbound traffic is another matter: that really stinks.
- markovbot 8y agoWho do you use instead? I'm really disappointed by their IPv6 support and undocumented egress firewall rules, but found other providers to have their own set of problems. Would love suggestions.
- IgorPartola 8y agoVultr has proper IPv6 and is the same price.
- kamaln7 8y agoEach Droplet gets a /124 block, so 16 IPv6 addresses. Please see this page for more info: https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/networking/ipv6/overview/ https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/networking/ipv6/overview/
- markovbot 8y agoOh my bad. Point still stands.
