How do you use only ipv6 server?

Recently I bought vps which have only ipv6. It's obviously that I don't have ipv6 home. So, here is question: how do you interact with such servers?

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.
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.
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)
You sell it and buy a normal one /s
I guess HE is still providing free IPv6 via IPv4 tunnels.
