I've just configured a new linode, and I'm having trouble with the IPv6 access.

ifconfig shows that it has an IPv6 address, but it appears that packets are getting lost somewhere as I can't access any ipv6 resources.

e.g. ping6 ipv6.google.com reports 100% packet loss

My other linode in the same data centre works fine.

Any ideas?

Have you configured your IPv6 address?

Yes. The linode has an ipv6 address in the linode manager, and ifconfig shows this IP address.

Here are the commands you want to run:

Code:
ip -6 addr
ip -6 route
ip6tables-save


Those results will likely shed some light on this.

Looks you have IPv6 Privacy Extentions turned on. You can confirm that with `sysctl -a | grep use_tempaddr`, which will show something besides 0 if you're using them.

If you have something in /etc/sysctl.d that's setting use_tempaddr to non-zero, remove that. If you don't, you can add a file there and manually set them to 0.

That fixes it. Thanks!

Why would that cause a problem?

Because your Linode can only talk to Linode's network on the IPv6 address that it owns, not weird ones it invented.
