I was fooling around with IPv6 and Miredo as my ISP is IPv4 only.
I have Miredo working and can do things like
ping6 ipv6.google.com
or open Firefox to URL http://[2a00:1450:4003:808::200e]
But now I wanted to use Firefox to open http://ipv6.google.com and I receive a "Server Not Found" error. I have already checked the flag network.dns.disableIPv6
in the about:config
settings and has no effect.
I have been reading other pitfalls but I am missing something as none of the solutions I found change anything on my scenario.
The following work:
host ipv6.google.com
dig aaaa ipv6.google.com
dig -6 aaaa ipv6.google.com # I added a ipv6 DNS just in case
wget -6 ipv6.google.com
The following don't work:
ping ipv6.google.com
dig ipv6.google.com # doesn't yield the IPv6 address only the cname
dig ipv6.l.google.com # doesn't yield any address
wget ipv6.google.com
I also tried to play around the file /etc/gai.conf
, but failed to achieve anything.
Chrome and Chromium are failing in the same fashion as Firefox, so I assume that the problem is system-wide, not application specific. Not sure how or why.
