following from them:
Gateway Address: 2001:db8:1:1110::1/64
Subnet I can use: 2001:db8:1:/64
This works. But I have to figure out (ask Hetzner) if I'm the only
customer they use 2001:db8:1:1110::/64 (I think so).
I think the question I would have asked them is
What does your box (2001:db8:1:1110::1) need in order for it to
figure out how to send packets for my network (2001:db8:1:::/64)
to my box? Does my box need to have a specific address or send
out router advertisements?
I.e., how is is their box going to know get the ethernet address of
your box so that it can send the packets to it?
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.
It's a good practice to use link-local addresses for default routes.
ICMPv6 Redirects won't work with the global ones for example, because
one of the RFCs requires the redirect packet's source address to match
the address you sent it to in the first place. Try telling them that.
Or ask them why can't they take one of your addresses and
use it for their gateway? This is just crazy.
Yes, their MAC addresses/{U,G,D}UIDs can change; that's why you need to
ask them first. It also helps if they're running CARP/VRRP, because if
they don't play with VHIDs, their MAC addresses don't change with their
infrastructure :-)

It is funny that the Linux example they give is using proper network numbers. Some of the cheap root server providers do this type of trick for v4 of placing the gateway outside of your subnet and use routing tricks to allow access to it, some ADSL routers with a half bridge mode do a similar thing. They often use dhcp to assign the addresses for v4, which on some OS does work seamlessly. Presumably this was done to reduce address usage so it would be completely pointless to do a similar thing with v6, but pointless doesn't stop people from doing things..

There are many kinds of network interfaces that you can create yourself (loopback, tunnels, etc.). Have some imagination. a = 2001:db8:1:::/64 b = 2001:db8:1:1110::/64 You on a = 2001:db8:1:::whatever You on b = 2001:db8:1:1110::whatever except 1 Them on b = 2001:db8:1:1110::1 If you don't need a, don't configure it. If I now assign for example 2001:db8:1::1/64 to the interface on my server it doesn't let me set the default gateway becaus it's not in the same subnet: openbsd# ifconfig rl0 inet6 2001:db8:1::/64 openbsd# route add -inet6 default 2001:db8:1:1110::1 route: writing to routing socket: Network is unreachable add net default: gateway 2001:db8:1:1110::1: Network is unreachable I tried: openbsd# route add -inet6 -iface 2001:db8:1:1110::1 2001:db8:1:::1 openbsd# route add -inet6 default 2001:db8:1:1110::1 But now it's not possible to ping6 2001:db8:1:1110::1 or any other IPv6 address. Yeah that's all wrong. Assuming that rl0 is on network b, try: ifconfig rl0 inet6 2001:db8:1:1110::2 route add -inet6 default 2001:db8:1:1110::1 This works. But I have to figure out (ask Hetzner) if I'm the only customer they use 2001:db8:1:1110::/64 (I think so). If not it would mean there are multiple customers on network b. That would be somewhat unusual. Also over their web interface they only offer me to create DNS entries for 2001:db8:1:::/64. This make total sense. Just assign yourself an address from that prefix, e.g. on the loopback interface. Simon

This abomination has survived too many years: hostname.if: !route add -llinfo -iface -net 10.255.0.0/16 10.255.255.1 -ifp nfe0 inet 1.2.3.4 255.255.255.255 inet 1.2.4.3 255.255.255.255 ... mygate: 10.255.255.1 This forces the subnet to be on the interface so one can reach a router without having any IP's on the local system corresponding to the remote router IP.
