I have contacted Contabo: "I will be ordering multiple VPS in Singapore. Ensure your infrastructure, including IPv6, is functioning properly, as no refunds are offered. Customer support is slow and misaligned with my schedule. Confirm IPv4, IPv6, and overall infrastructure are fully operational."

My attempts to use a new Contabo VPS with IPv6 failed via SSH and browser, unlike IPv4 which worked. The issue was definitely with IPv6. I cancelled the subscription. Subsequent orders' costs kept rising, which I refuse to pay. I'll keep my old VPS despite its shortcomings, and I am reluctant to order another Contabo VPS.

@jackyan agreed re: the immediate remedities.
Personally I'd refrain from CloudFlare as they're part of the problem, not the solution.
Any halfway-decent hoster (even cheap ones like #Contabo and #Netcup) offer #DDoS-Protection free of charge and don't host #Cybercrime and #Terrorism willingly.
Mal ne Frage an Leute, die irgendwo dezidierte Server mieten oder gemietet hatten:
Wurde Euch mal (vermutlich) aus Versehen eine Maschine zugeteilt, die teilweise bessere Hardware verbaut hatte, als im Angebot ausgewiesen?
(Mir hat einer der großen Anbieter gerade anstatt 32 GB RAM eine Kiste mit 128 GB RAM bereit gestellt.)
Die müssen das doch irgendwo dokumentiert haben...

Was talking to a colleague about setting up my own vpn vps last week.
This week kablamo - right into my mailbox. https://contabo.com/blog/wireguard-vps-the-definitive-guide-for-self-hosted-approach
Next up, wondering if I should get myself a separate vps for this, or add it to an existing one. Let's wait and see what "MASSIVE BLACK FRIDAY DEALS" they've got to offer tomorrow. 🤔
it was ultimately pretty easy, since im :gentoo: with netifrc going, i was finally pointed to by someone in the #gentoo irc to the default config examples for /etc/conf.d/net and with some followup i found out that i just had to symlink the service file for the ens18 device, and then do this:
config_ens18="dhcp 2605:a141:2219:1995::1/64"
(its not exactly a secret, this server is broadcasting an ip address thats kind of the point here lol) and i was able to restart the interface without it kicking me out of the ssh yay! anyway just some #akkoadmin #fediadmin #contabo #gentoo #netifrc #ipv6 tips as i did not find any of the documentation on this straightforward, especially since netifrc isn’t as in vogue as whatever systemd-based hunks of junk everyone is running now

@adamnews my experience with #Contabo was really horrible, constant problems with the VPS, filesystem getting corrupt or something like that, then they start limiting traffic in the email port and I couldn't convince them to remove the limit, because they expect that if you have high email traffic you were hacked or you are doing marketing diffusion,
I really DON"T recommend Contabo, I use netcup without problems since then, which is not in your list
Has anyone on #contabo already tried the new control panel?
How is it :question:
🌘 Contabo 的預設設定鼓勵使用 SSH 密碼
➤ SSH 密碼登入的陷阱與 Contabo 的安全疏失
✤ https://jamesoclaire.com/2025/09/12/contabo-defaults-encourage-using-ssh-passwords/
作者 James O'Claire 指出，Contabo 虛擬專用伺服器（VPS）的預設安全設定存在嚴重疑慮，特別是鼓勵使用者透過密碼而非 SSH 金鑰進行登入。這種做法使伺服器容易遭受自動化攻擊，且 Contabo 客服團隊在處理問題時，竟要求使用者透過電子郵件傳送密碼，進一步加劇了安全風險。作者建議應改用 SSH 金鑰，並禁用 root 使用者登入，以提升伺服器安全性。
+ 這種預設做法真的太危險了！幸好作者及時指出來，不然很多新手可能都不知道該注意。SSH 金鑰纔是王道！
+ 客服竟然要求寄密碼？這也太誇張了吧！完全不符合基本資安原則，真是讓人傻眼。
