Description Sergei Trofimovich (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2020-09-13 10:29:22 UTC 
IPv6 traffic is blackholed somewhere. IPv4 works. I think it happens for a few days.

Tested from my home box, from woodpecker and from guppy dev box. Same blackholing result.

Don't know if it's a DNS misconfiguration or bad routing. Assuming first.

I poked a bit from various HE senders and other IPv6 sources. It looks like IPv6 packets get routed successfully to 2607:fcc0:4:ffff::4 from both HE and non-HE ISPs.

Can you run 'traceroute 2001:470:ea4a:1:5054:ff:fec7:86e4' and 'ping 2001:470:ea4a:1:5054:ff:fec7:86e4' on gannet.gentoo.org so it would be obvious whether packets get to HE at all?
