IPv6 works on host but not in LXC container

Hello, I need help with IPv6 in LXC container.

I make a server up with Proxmox. IPv6 works on host, I can ping outside. Inside container, only IPv4 works. I try disable firewall, no change. I am not expert with NDP, maybe this is problem?

My provider is HostHatch, they give /64. Host gets address fine. Container gets address from SLAAC but no route outside.
