--- Comment #2 from peos42 <peo_s at incedo.org> ---
I cannot access some hosts over IPv6 (these are also hosted at RamNode within
their block). 

When the VPS was Linux with the same IP and the net-mask on the server it
worked ok (Linux used the default gw with a /64 set as net-mask). 

When I reinstalled the VPS to FreeBSD 11.2 nothing worked over IPv6 at the
initial config. Then I saw the post I referred to and change net-mask to a /48
so the gw was included in the net-mask. Then internet and everything else
worked. But not IPv6 communication to some host. Most likely due to the /48
net-mask set... I guess due to std problem. Why send the traffic on to gw if
you think the host is on your local network as the mask say so.
