Host a website that needs to be accessible from your own machine or public?
Former situation: Can be solved by setup reverse proxy on the other VPS, or join machines to a VPN server (like tailscale, Zertoier or Wireguard server)
Later situation: Cloudflare or other CDN, setup reverse proxy on the other VPS.
Less accessible option but available for public: Tor or I2P
Personally have good experience with https://github.com/Nyr/wireguard-install, there are other script that are available by searching “wireguard setup script github”.
Note: By default Wireguard config generated will route every bit of traffic through Wireguard (which will be slower and probably not wanted in this situation), to change that change AllowedIPs field in Wireguard config, lets say all your machines are assigned 1.2.3.xxx as IP address, to only access other 1.2.3.xxx IP through wireguard, change the config to AllowedIPs = 1.2.3.0/24.

I guess HE is still providing free IPv6 via IPv4 tunnels.
You sell it and buy a normal one /s
There are tunnel protocols like 6to4, 6RD and so on to allow you to get an IPv6 connection tunneled to you. Various routers do support it.
Another option is to ask your ISP if he will supply a IPv6 subnet to you.
First questio is: can you ask your home internet provider for ipv6?
Otherwise sign up to tailscale and connect your vps server (and your pc/devices) to it.
Can’t ask ISP D:
Used to have miredo, which worked pretty well, but think they killed that.
Should still have old 6to4 protocols, they use ipv4 address tricks to get everything working.
have you tried using a vpn, e.g. tailscale?
extremely easy to set up, if you are a selfhost purist, there’s headscale as a direct alternative.
only really good at doing stuff in a personal workspace, not really made for exposing to the public internet, still very possible tho
how can I use vpn for it? I have another vps with both ipv4 and 6. But I can’t find solution for it.
Great, if you need to SSH into Ipv6 only machine, SSH has -J flag which can be used to specify “jump host” (basically run SSH through SSH)
what if I want to host something on it? I need reverse proxy?

here is problem: I don’t know how to set up wireguard and can’t find any good guides

1.2.3.xxxas IP address, to only access other1.2.3.xxxIP through wireguard, change the config toAllowedIPs = 1.2.3.0/24.I just have to connect to my server with ipv6 through wireguard to get access to ipv6 on my client?
