I've had similar issues. Network outages, server power cycles taking forever etc. The only good thing Scaleway is for is hosting Tor exits, which they don't seem to mind.

To add to the network stack comment - they assign _single_ IPv6 address to your server. Not a /64 block, just a single /128 address. I have no idea what they were thinking.

We were basically thinking about routing /64 blocks over the /127 interconnection to provide routed /64 ;)

Also, that single IPv6 address changes if you shut down then start up the server again. eg it's not a stable address, like the IPv4 one is.

Can be a problem, until you figure out what's going on. ;)
