How do you use only ipv6 server? - eviltoast

Recently I bought vps which have only ipv6. It’s obviously that I don’t have ipv6 home. So, here is question: how do you interact with such servers?

      Host a website that needs to be accessible from your own machine or public?

      Former situation: Can be solved by setup reverse proxy on the other VPS, or join machines to a VPN server (like tailscale, Zertoier or Wireguard server)

      Later situation: Cloudflare or other CDN, setup reverse proxy on the other VPS.

      Less accessible option but available for public: Tor or I2P

          Personally have good experience with https://github.com/Nyr/wireguard-install, there are other script that are available by searching “wireguard setup script github”.

          Note: By default Wireguard config generated will route every bit of traffic through Wireguard (which will be slower and probably not wanted in this situation), to change that change AllowedIPs field in Wireguard config, lets say all your machines are assigned 1.2.3.xxx as IP address, to only access other 1.2.3.xxx IP through wireguard, change the config to AllowedIPs = 1.2.3.0/24.

              You setup Wireguard server on the VPS with both IPv4 and IPv6. Then you connect both your computer and IPv6-only server to the Wireguard server. After connection, you can connect to the VPN through IP address assigned by wireguard.
