A couple months ago I got a new router and some stuff didn’t work until I turned off ipv6 (I don’t recall what, exactly)
I tried that solution early because when I first got Google Fiber the Amazon store website didn’t load, on any machine in our house, until I turned off ipv6. If stuff tries to route over ipv6, it doesn’t work, has been my entire experience with the protocol on the open internet (private networks seem Ok)

- wharvle 3y agoMy home connection fails because it’s disabled (of course). Kicked my phone over to my T-Mobile cell connection. Finds that I have an ipv6 address, but dies on one of the first tests. It’s 2024 and I have two major US ISPs available and neither will let me reliably use IPv6 unless I’m on a vpn and the addresses are all private ones that don’t (logically) route to the Internet.
