I rented a new VPS. From the Linux VPS, I copied the network setup:
Code: 
2a04:52c0:116:87f1::1/64
default via 2a04:52c0:116::1 dev eth0 metric 1024 onlink pref medium
The corresponding entries in /etc/rc.conf:
Code: 
ifconfig_vtnet0_ipv6="inet6 2a04:52c0:116:87f1::1 prefixlen 64"
ipv6_defaultrouter="2a04:52c0:116::1"
Put the VPS still cannot reach the default gateway. I also tried to use rtsold(), still no luck.
What can I try next?

You configured the exact same IPv6 address on both systems? And they're both active? You understand every system has to have a unique IP address?
 
The VPS came with Linux. I have copied the IPv6 settings, reinstalled it with FreeBSD and configured IPv6 manually. And now, the VPS has no IPv6 connection to the world.

Ok, that makes more sense.

The settings appear to be fine. I have similar settings, except my VPS provider gave me a /48. Speaking of prefixlen, what does netstat -rn6 show?
