I'd like to add that docs/pages/cloud/vps/configure-ipv6/guide.en-gb.md
also states that the prefix (or netmask) of your IPv6 block usually is 128. This is incorrect, a prefix of 64 is needed otherwise the gateway is not part of your subnet and the routing won't take place!

Thanks @0xThiebaut! That bad documentation from @OVH-Team-Guides is so bad. How can we know the prefix? I wasted too much time.

Should be
The prefix (or netmask) of your IPv6 block, usually 128 or 64
In
docs/pages/cloud/dedicated/network_ipv6/guide.en-ca.md
it says every dedicated server gets a /64 IPv6 block, but on suggested Debian configuration it hasnet_mask 128
. I've checked my Debian servers (using OVH/Kimsufi's image) and my server IPv6 block is configured to /128 after aip -6 addr list dev enp1s0
. The docs also does not use Debian's systemd configuration (systemd is the default init system on Debian since Jessie). Between my servers inside OVH network I can ping the IPv6 addresses, but can't connect from outside using IPv6. What should I do?
