@daryll-swer I am not promoting anything, just doing what I can to provide working IPv6 connectivity.

There are a lot of providers giving a single /128 address per server, your proposal would not work in many places and is less user-friendly. There are also many providers which require to route each /128 manually from their control panel, this is actually how SolusVM works (SolusVM is the industry standard for VPS providers).

Oh boy, I would strongly recommend avoiding such crappy providers! Defeats the purpose of IPv6!

Not ALL cloud providers are bad with IPv6, this an example that provides routed /64s to the customer's host: https://twitter.com/ungleich
