So before I attempt to buy a vps with a ipv6 /64 block I just wanted to know if that block is treated as one ip address? if so then it would be useless to make a proxy server since social media sites will treat it as a single ip

No, an IPv6 /64 subnet contains 2^64 addresses, not treated as one IP but as a block of approximately 18.4 quintillion unique IPs.
 
It depends on the VPS; you'll have to try assigning addresses from this block to your VPS and see if they ping. In other words, check if you can reach your specific VPS using these IP addresses.

I'd suggest doing a trial purchase for a short period to test it out. Everything will depend on the provider. If the provider routes the entire block to your VPS correctly (and doesn’t block anything), then you'll actually get these 2^64 IPs to use. But whether you can effectively use them as, say, proxies is another story. Because sites like Google might just treat the whole block as a single IP, given they're already familiar with the provider's architecture.
 
@iproxyonline planning on get an ip block but i dont know how to configure it well to start using them.. they asked for my Asn so I reached out to arin and sent out my docs am waiting for their feedback.. is an Asn a must or I can use the block without it?
 
we provide ipv6 dedicated datacentre proxy, low latency and not shared with anyone. Minimum 10000 proxies for 4TB per month for $200.

IPv6/64 is treated as one IP by google. You need subnet lower than /64
