      Hello Alex,              On Tuesday January 23 2018 02:09, you wrote to me:               MvdV>> Thanks, The odd thing is that I can connect to my web server        MvdV>> locally via IPv6, but the connection via IPv4 seems to be the        MvdV>> prefered one. To connect via IPv6 I must force an IP6        MvdV>> connection by using a host name without an IPv4 address. Maybe        MvdV>> the relay introduces a delay that makes IPv4 preferent on the        MvdV>> otherwise fast local connection?               AS> No, it's the default "prefer IPv4 over IPv6" in your system or browser        AS> settings.              Odd. Because this only happens when I use the RELAY6 method when locally       accessing my website. When I used the netsh method, I always connected via       IPv6. And wneh connected other websites aroud the world, IPv6 is the preferred       method.               AS> For Firefox based browsers, check the following about:config settings:               AS> network.dns.disableIPv6 = false              Check               AS> network.http.fast-fallback-to-IPv4 = false (Pale Moon with works for        AS> me with true though)              Set to true here...               AS> In case of WinXP, it's forced default behavior of "prefer IPv4" and        AS> there is a way to fix it by modifying netsh prefixpolicy as shown        AS> here: https://sites.google.com/site/jrey42/Home/ipv6/prefixpolicies              Hmmm...              D:>netsh       netsh>prefixpolicy       Der folgende Befehl wurde nicht gefunden: prefixpolicy.       netsh>               AS>>> ipv6.dynamic.ziggo.nl [2001:1c02:1100:d700:f1d0:2:280:5555]        AS>>> but your ISP does not seem to assign proper reverse DNS for        AS>>> customers.        MvdV>> Indeed, that is a bit of a joke. Every IPv6 addres        MvdV>> (2001:1c02::/32) of my provider backresolves to        MvdV>> ipv6.dynamic.ziggo.nl.               AS> Is it dynamic or static?              Dynamic.               AS> And if it's static, why your ISP can't provide a proper backresolve        AS> by customer request?              I don't know. They do not seem to know themselves either...              Cheers, Michiel              --- GoldED+/W32-MSVC 1.1.5-b20170303        * Origin: he.net certified sage (2:280/5555)    |
