So it doesn't have a global IPv6 address? That would definitely
cause IPv6 to not work.

I don't think so, but if the package "netplan" is not installed then
it's definitely not involved.
What is a thing however, is systemd-networkd. But that should leave
alone any interface that is defined in /etc/network/interfaces.
Do you have a file called /run/network/ifstate? If so, the
interfaces listed in it were configured by ifupdown as per
/etc/network/interfaces.
Which VPS is misbehaving with regard to IPv6? I will check there is
nothing amiss on BitFOlk's side. Has it ever worked for IPv6?
Cheers,
Andy
