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

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
