Re: Does dslreports.com block IPv6?
It's unclear why the failure would occur. Could you provide more details?
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? |

| 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. |

Perhaps these tunnel servers get abused by people and are therefore blocked by some sites? Much like open proxy servers... |

I have tried sixxs.org in the past and once again today and it just hangs when I click on "Spell Check". I am using firefox. Maybe a browser specific problem? |
