Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.7.2) OS: FreeBSD The web site bugs.kde.org announces an IPv6 address but does not respond when requests are directed to it. Only the IPv4 address works. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Try to perform any action on the KDE bug database - access via the IPv6 address results in a timeout, whereas access via the IPv4 address poses no problems. Actual Results: Timeout when using the IPv6 address of bugs.kde.org Expected Results: Normal operation and responses from bugs.kde.org when accessing via IPv6.

Hmmm... I am trying to connect from a 6to4 address, 2002:bc17:23dd:1::5. I am able to successfully connect to www.linux-ipv6.org via https and IPv6, and other sites also work. I am fully aware that the problem could be on my end of the provider chain, but could you please double-check that you do not accidentally filter the 2002:: range?

I can confirm that we do not block IPv6 requests from the 2002::/16. Various traceroutes to your address from multiple IPv6 enabled systems result in no response. Based on your IPv6 address, your IPv4 address should be 62.47.95.239. If you could allow your system to reply on it's IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, that would be very helpful.
For the next few hours, I have IPv4 91.113.12.235 and IPv6 2002:5b71:ceb:1::5 The firewall is configured to accept and respond to ICMP and ICMPv6 echo requests and replies. I'd appreciate if you could test this. Thank you.
You are quick... I see ICMP from gslb0[12].cnlb.cn.mozilla.com., but no ICMPv6 Just for your information, I always have to wait for my squid proxy to time out on the connection attempt to bugs.kde.org via IPv6, and then fall back to trying the IPv4 address (which will stay preferred for a few seconds - seems to be some squid setting).
One more comment, youtube has IPv6 addresses for some (many/all?) of its cache servers. My squid prefers those over IPv4 (even if internally here, the request comes in via IPv4).

The traffic from the Mozilla server wasn't from me. My traffic would have come from servers whose ip's reserved to *.kde.org. In any case, pinging your IPv4 address worked fine. But your IPv6 address never replied to any pings. I tried from multiple KDE servers, and all unfortunately failed.
By now I am nearly certain that the problem is some bad IPv6 routing. Compare the following traces for quickgit.kde.org (announces two IPv6 addresses) and again bugs.kde.org (announces one IPv6 address): [0]# nslookup -type=any quickgit.kde.org Server: 192.168.1.5 Address: 192.168.1.5#53 Non-authoritative answer: Name: quickgit.kde.org Address: 138.246.255.177 Name: quickgit.kde.org Address: 46.4.199.72 quickgit.kde.org has AAAA address 2a01:4f8:130:4ffd:1:cae:dee:ee02 quickgit.kde.org has AAAA address 2001:4ca0:100::10:177 Authoritative answers can be found from: kde.org nameserver = a.ns.bytemark.co.uk. kde.org nameserver = b.ns.bytemark.co.uk. kde.org nameserver = ns2.kde.org. b.ns.bytemark.co.uk internet address = 85.17.170.78 a.ns.bytemark.co.uk internet address = 80.68.80.26 [0]# My traceroute [v0.81] gandalf.xyzzy (::) Sat Oct 29 15:27:05 2011 Keys: Help Display mode Restart statistics Order of fields quit Packets Pings Host Loss% Snt Last Avg Best Wrst StDev 1. ??? 2.

Please close this report. While I still have the problem, it does not seem caused by KDE.org. I have used http://www.sixxs.net/tools/traceroute/ and they show that everything is o.k. with bugs.kde.org. Furthermore, there is at least one other address which I found accidentally which also does not work from here (bird.network.cz). It seems that there are issues with the 6to4 gateway of my provider.
