<p><code>2a03:4000</code> is Netcup's network I believe with <code>AAAA</code> defining a certain part of that network.<br />
<code>BBBB</code> is the subnet provided to me with <code>cccc:dddd:eeee:ffff</code> being the range of address I can use in that subnet.</p>
<p>Netcup's IPv6 network is switched, not routed, I'm sure there's a reason for this, and I'm sure it's sensible, but for now the important bit is that the IPv6 gateway should always be <code>fe80::1%vtnet0</code> (where <code>vtnet0</code> is the external interface name) rather than another <code>2a03:4000::AAAA:BBBB</code> IPv6 address. I pop that into my <code>rc.conf</code> as well.</p>

<p>Reboot the VPS, and all works well. <code>ping6</code>s work, <code>curl</code>s to IPv6 addresses work, incoming IPv6 connections work. Great! Done...</p>
