I can connect to google, but not to duckduckgo.
$ ping google.com

I think that's because google has ipv6 and duckduckgo hasn't, as shown by nslookup.
$ nslookup google.com

The same applies for facebook.com which has ipv6 and works, and github.com wich hasn't and doesn't.
I bought an internet cable which plugs directly to the router, and the problem stayed. But when I turn off wifi, unplug the cable and use USB-thetering via my Android smartphone everything works fine (the smartphones mobile data is turned off and it is connected to the wifi). My flatmates have no connectivity problems on their devices. I used the computer for one year now and the problem only started this morning.
Is there something I can do?
Solutions I tried
I looked at this post. The proposed solution was to disable ipv4 in the wifi's graphical configuration, and setting "Method" to "Automatic, addresses only" in ipv6 the wifi's settings. I don't have this option in my settings, and setting it to "Automatic" or "Automatic, addresses only" didn't change anything.
I also tried this solution
$ sudo dhclient -r wlp2s0
Killed old client process
$ sudo dhclient wlp2s0
That didn't solve the problem but changed ping's error message:
$ ping duckduckgo.com

usb0 is my Android device.
