Part of our IPv6 proxy management guide series.
Vultr is a popular host for IPv6-heavy workloads. Here's the fastest path to a working fleet on MeshProx.
1. VPS requirements
- Ubuntu 22.04+ or Debian 11+
- IPv6 enabled on the instance (Vultr panel → Settings → IPv6)
- Root or passwordless sudo SSH
2. Onboard in MeshProx
- Servers → Add server (IP, SSH key)
- Run Preflight — checks IPv6 range, opens UFW on the host
- Install agent
- Verify proxy — creates one live proxy and tests SOCKS5
3. Generate at scale
Proxies → pick server → choose SOCKS5 or HTTP → generate 100–10,000+. Export CSV or URL list.
Troubleshooting
- Proxy test timeout → re-run preflight (UFW opens TCP 20000–60000 automatically) or click Fix on the UFW check
- Agent offline → check
systemctl status callaby-agenton the VPS - IPv6 exit not showing → target site may be IPv4-only; test with an IPv6-only checker
