Great to hear you're working on this. A while ago I asked around to see if
there were any VPN providers that handed out more than a single /128 and I
couldn't find any. Once this is supported in OpenVPN it might be easier for
providers to offer it.

One thing we're thinking of is to give apps an API to create new IPv6
addresses for their own use. This is only really useful if the prefix is
dedicated to the host, as doing this on a shared prefix may not work and
may end up causing scaling issues to the network.
