Not AFAIK.  They stupidly insist on giving me*ONE* IPv6 address.

That explains a lot.

At https://websavers.ca you have to request IPv6 IPs. Okay.

And I got 5 /112s. It took me a *long* time to figure out what I was actually assigned.


I thought it was some kind of overlapping subnets like 10.1.1.1/16, 10.1.1.2/16 or something.


So, they actually gave me more than OVH normally assigns (websavers.ca uses OVH).


Light bulb moment...


Fortunately, a single one suits my needs just fine and a /64 might be more difficult to manage (maybe, probably not if I knew what I was doing in the IPv6 world better).


Still, mostly happy with websavers.ca although their DNS management tool is a bit primitive. It's pushing me to host my own.
