Hi, I'm completely new in OpenBSD also I didn't have any contact with IPv6 so I completely don't understand it but I want to make my server more accessible in internet. I just installed OpenBSD on my OVH VPS (it's not supported) and as in title IPv6 is don't working and I don't know completely how can I make it work. During installation I selected to make autoconfig for IPv6. Here's output of my ifconfig: ``` lo0: flags=2008049 mtu 32768 index 3 priority 0 llprio 3 groups: lo inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 vio0: flags=2a48843 mtu 1500 lladdr fa:16:3e:5c:10:04 index 1 priority 0 llprio 3 groups: egress media: Ethernet autoselect status: active inet6 fe80::f816:3eff:fe5c:1004%vio0 (it don't like my IPv6 addres which I got from OVH)prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 inet (my correct IPv4) netmask 0xffffffff enc0: flags=0 index 2 priority 0 llprio 3 groups: enc status: active pflog0: flags=141 mtu 33136 index 4 priority 0 llprio 3 groups: pflog ``` In my OVH administration panel I can see my IPv6 address and gateway. But I don't know completely what to do with these informations :( Thank you in advance for help

OpenBSD installed on OVH VPS, IPv6 don't working.

Hi,

I'm not a regular OpenBSD user, however, have you checked the OpenBSD documentation on syntax about network configuration.

As well as some online documentation on how ipv6 works: (fe80 is a reserved prefix dedicated to link local, is generally automatically allocated by the operating system when ipv6 is supported).

To make your ipv6 network configuration you don't need much but the ipv6 address and its CIDR mask as well as the default gateway address I would assume.

inet autoconf
inet6 myipv6address
!/sbin/route add -inet6 default mygatewayipv6address

that's how I fixed the problem 🙂
