Good day,
Where/how can we petition for better IPv6 support on these instances?
They only have a single IPv6 IP, and I need more per instance. I can have up to 7 IPv4s but I'm looking/needing for IPv6 IPs ;(
)Same trouble with the 2016 VPss, while the previous generation I recall had a full /64)

A /64 per customer/server is a must!
I have 17 (!) IPv4 addresses on my VPS instance but only 1 (!) IPv6 address in a shared /64 subnet.
Considering the fact, that IPv4 addresses are very rare on the one hand and the minimum of an IPv6 allocation is a /64 subnet and IPv6 addresses are fare numerous than sand at the beach on the other hand, I cannot understand this policy.
+1 for real IPv6 support.
Hello all,
We understand the inconveniences caused by this and we have raised this with the relevant department to review. Rest assured we will consider changing our IPv6 service on Public Cloud and VPS.
For now this is with the relevant department to continue exploring our options and how we can improve on providing better service to our customers.
Unfortunately, at the moment we do not have an ETA on this subject, but we do our best to speed things up.
Thanks for that response @AdamO, and I hope they also provide beter IPv6 support on the vRacks and dedicated servers in the same breath ![]()
>12months later, any progress @AdamO ??
and 36 months later?
what makes this even more "urgent", is the new draft proposal with IETF that makes 127.1/16-127.255/16 public routable, leaving only 127.0/16 as "localhost/loopback" - watch several "fun" problems inside ISPs that used the 127/8 "loopbacks" as identifiers for their routers

Would be great to see this finally picked-up asap. The standard ( https://www.1editor.org/rfc/rfc4291#section-2.5.1editor.org/rfc/rfc4291#section-2.5.1 ) should always be to assign a /64 for a server. For a DSL or FttH connection it is even /56. @AdamO or @OVHSupport, can you please provide an update on this? This can cause neighboring VPS's that misbehave to get your /128 being on a blocklist such as Spamhaus that will only look at /64 blocks which should be the case for all.
Looking forward to seeing a positive reply.
Kind regards,
Joris.
@OVH Support: will somebody be finally picking this up and provide some answers here? An answers other than "no ETA". This is just industry standard so should be implemented.
@OVH Support : est-ce que quelqu'un va enfin prendre le sujet en main et répondre ? Et pas de réponse de type "pas de visibilité sur la mise en place" : ceci est simplement un standard d'industrie et doit donc être adopté.
I expect this to be provided when there aren't IPv4 IPs available anymore… still in the future ;(
Hi,
As ipv4 prices are officially increasing (fair enough), as VPS prices are also increasing (still fair enough), and as we are invited to use FREE IpV6, it's not acceptable nor manageable that we do not get the official /64 specs for IPv6, and still do not have an ETA.
Best

We're 2023, and still /64 on VPS ![]()
The Faceit system assigns the ELO ranking to each player depending on factors such as winning percentage, kill or death ratio, competitor’s ranking level, etc. which can be checked using faceitfinder.

To add another reason why this is an important issue, some service providers (like the docker.io container registry) do rate-limiting per /64 blocks, which means that being put into one subnet with other users will result in constant "429 rate limit exceeded" errors, which is extremely disruptive.
7 years old, and no progress.
For what it's worth, discovering the lack of rdns configurability for ipv6 and the silly allocation of one ip is the sole reason I'm not moving my servers here from other providers.
A shame.
That’s correct. The FACEIT system assigns an ELO ranking to each player based on several performance factors, such as win percentage, kill/death ratio, and the ranking level of opponents. These details can be easily checked using tools like FaceitFinder, which provide insights into a player’s stats and ELO history. You can also find more FACEIT-related tools and guides at https://faceitfinder.io/
Good day, currently IPv6 is still limited to a single address per instance even in 2026, with no public option to request a larger range like a /64 as in older generations; your best option is to contact OVHcloud support or submit a feature request, as expanded IPv6 support depends on their roadmap. I’ve been running a few small projects myself (including a simple coloring pages site), so I’ve run into similar limitations with IPv6 on these instances.
