I have a VPS, with an ipv6 address. It responds correctly to ping packets: tony@tony-lx:~$ ping6 vanderhoff.org PING vanderhoff.org(2a03:9800:10:54::1) 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 2a03:9800:10:54::1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=58 time=13.6 ms 64 bytes from 2a03:9800:10:54::1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=58 time=12.1 ms 64 bytes from 2a03:9800:10:54::1: icmp_seq=3 ttl=58 time=11.8 ms
However, when I attempt to ssh into it, it baulks: tony@tony-lx:~$ ssh -6 vanderhoff.org ssh: connect to host vanderhoff.org port 22: Connection refused ssh -4 works fine: tony@tony-lx:~$ ssh -4 vanderhoff.org Linux shell 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.65-1+deb7u1 x86_64 /etc/sshd_config has ipv6 enabled: # What ports, IPs and protocols we listen for Port 22 # Use these options to restrict which interfaces/protocols sshd will bind to ListenAddress :: ListenAddress 0.0.0.0 My firewall should let ssh6 packets through (I think): tony@shell:~$ sudo ip6tables -L -v [sudo] password for tony: Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination 0 0 ACCEPT udp any any anywhere anywhere udp dpt:openvpn 0 0 ACCEPT tcp any any anywhere anywhere tcp spt:https 2421 301K ACCEPT tcp any any anywhere anywhere tcp spt:http 3955 350K ACCEPT tcp any any anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:http 0 0 ACCEPT tcp any any anywhere anywhere tcp spt:domain 0 0 ACCEPT udp any any anywhere anywhere udp spt:domain 0 0 ACCEPT tcp any any anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:domain 0 0 ACCEPT udp any any anywhere anywhere udp dpt:domain 0 0 ACCEPT tcp any any anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:http 0 0 ACCEPT all any any anywhere tony-lx.magpieway.net/128 0 0 ACCEPT all any any tony-lx.magpieway.net/128 anywhere 25 4458 ACCEPT tcp any any anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:smtp 0 0 ACCEPT udp any any anywhere anywhere udp dpt:ntp 0 0 ACCEPT tcp any any anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:ntp 38640 96M ACCEPT all any any localhost/128 localhost/128 0 0 ACCEPT ipv6-icmp any any anywhere anywhere 0 0 ACCEPT tcp any any anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:ssh 0 0 LOG all any any anywhere anywhere limit: avg 5/min burst 5 LOG level debug prefix "ip6tables denied: " 0 0 DROP all any any anywhere anywhere I get no ip6tables reject entries in my log. I used to be able to access this server over ipv6, so something's broken. Can anyone please suggest where else to look, or how to diagnose this problem.
