Website not working (probably IPv6)

Post by Pavouk106 »

Hi,

I have IPv6 connection at home and I cannot acces this website. Quick dig AAAA wz2100.net showed that server is IPv6 capable, so it looks like the webserver has some bad configuration.

I'm writing this from my work computer, IPv4 only, that makes me think taht the problem is IPv6 related.

I haven't done some deep research though. I tried disabling IPv6 on my Linux machine and website works. Not enabled IPv6 on web server, almost certain. Can someone relay this information to some kind of admin?

Thanks

I reported a latency problem in detail on 5/4 that's related to what your raising IPv6. It's a bit of PITA to circumvent on this end but honestly I'm glad someone else is reporting so its not just me.

IPv6 isn't really fully supported it seems.
Lots of issues behind the scenes concerning things related to IPv6. Still looking into it.

At this time, we suggest only use IPv4.

Rman, didn't see the post ?

My bad. I should have made a seperate thread. Just glad you all are aware of it.

It's gonna be a bumpy road transition for a spell IPv4 > IPv6, especially on mobile smart were most end users don't have deep control of their OSs in unrooted devices. We're talking 100s of millions of devices. And most won't root, if they are even aware of it and are tech proficient, because it voids warrantees. At $500-$1000 a device who can blame 'em. Ways around it in unrooted devices is by using the few browser apps that run requests through their own servers which can do the switching on the fly.

OK, we are now IPv6 enabled.
Checking for AAAA DNS record
2a01:4f8:161:8181::3
Checking for IPv6 web server
nginx/1.2.4
Congratulations, this website is IPv6 ready !
