Does dslreports.com block IPv6?

I am using an IPv6 tunnel broker who also provides an IPv6 to IPv4 gateway service. Since dslreports.com does not support IPv6 I am trying to use the IPv6 to IPv4 gateway to post to the site but dslreports.com prevents me from doing so. Anything I attempt to post just times out. Anyone have an idea why dslreports.com does not allow the use of the IPv6 to IPv4 gateway? (I had to setup IPv4 just to post this.)

Which IPv6 to IPv4 gateway are you trying to use? How are you doing it? A http proxy, or are you trying to use a 6to4 address?

Re: Does dslreports.com block IPv6?

I encounter the same problems as the original poster. There are a couple of sites which provide gateways to connect to IPv4 only sites using IPv6. You connect to them using IPv6. In general they swap an IPv4 header for the IPv6 header, setup a translation for return traffic and then send the IPv4 packet out. Earlier today when I tried IPv6 through the IPv6 to IPv4 gateway the IP address tool here showed my traffic was coming from tunnelserver.concepts-ict.net.

dslreports.com is the only site which does not work with these IPv6 to IPv4 gateways. I use them for virtually all of the ipv4 sites I need to visit except dslreports.com. I have never looked at what dslreports.com is doing "behind the scenes" so have no idea what is going on.
