I now got an answer from Hetzner: - I'm not allowed to use an address from the gateway subnet. They will block my traffic if I'm using such an address - They recommend that I configure a /59 prefix. In my opinion this makes no sense. I now configured a /63 prefix which contains my subnet and the gateway subnet (this works). They did not explain how their gateway is configured to send traffic to my host without configuring a specific address on my host. Remi
