Hi Andy,
Yes it has always seemed to work before.
cat /run/network/ifstate give lo=lo no eth0 in there at all
hostname = westnorfolkrspca
This is weird because pinging the ipv4 address works perfectly.
I must add that for a year or so I have not had ipv6 at home (I am at
present in Philippines) so have not really noticed until last night

IPV4 all OK. No IPV6 connection.
A check showed it was only using the fe80 link-local address.
So it doesn't have a global IPv6 address? That would definitely
cause IPv6 to not work.
I have checked the interfaces file and it is the
same as the one on my
other VPS (except for the actual addresses of course.) Done a
shutdown/boot
through Xen. Nothing
Is netplan a thing on Debian 9, though I don't see any signs of it being
there.
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
