Ah, so you ar e a candidate for the Fidonet IPv6 club.
I have a VPS (well, several) but in this case, it's a DNS server for
my domains, one of which allows me to dynamically change the IP of my
home internet IP which is somewhat static until I reboot my router.
So let's see....
You advertise a hostname of ipv4.endofthelinebbs.com in the nodelist. After sone trial and error I discovered endofthelinebbs.com was the hostname with both an AAAA and an A record. So here wo go:

Great!
Feel free to try the other way and make an IPv6 connect to my system.
Cheers, Michiel
