when i run ifconfig i get the following
$ ifconfig

the ipv6 it is showing is Scope:Link but i don't see the Scope:Global one which i see in online tutorials.
How do i get that second ipv6 address that i can route to?
Here is what my /etc/network/interfaces looks like
$ cat /etc/network/interfaces
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
the whole reason for this is to be able to reach my nginx server by both ipv4 and ipv6
Right now i can reach it by the private ipv4 address http:192.168.1.59
but i also want to be able to reach it via the private ipv6 address as well
can anyone please explain to me how to enable this ipv6?
Here is what my sysctl settings looks like for all ipv6 settings
