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?

    have you tried using a vpn, e.g. tailscale?

    extremely easy to set up, if you are a selfhost purist, there’s headscale as a direct alternative.

    only really good at doing stuff in a personal workspace, not really made for exposing to the public internet, still very possible tho

        Great, if you need to SSH into Ipv6 only machine, SSH has -J flag which can be used to specify “jump host” (basically run SSH through SSH)

            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
