This morning I tried to look at my local brewery's event schedule. I was immediately met by a page saying that my location was not served by the brewery's web site. Since I've been an tunnelborker user for many years, my first debugging move was to turn off ipv6 on my laptop and revisit the site. At the end of the day the problem turned out to be visiting: https://app.blocky-app.com from my IPv6 address over the HE tunnel. Since I have both controls for both IP addresses and DNS lookups at my edge, it was pretty simple to reconfigure the edge so I visit this site by IPv4 only. I should also note that these block came against my /48 allocation, not the far more often plagued automatic /64.

If the claim here is that tunnelbroker IPv6 blocks were used for fraud, I can't deny that as they were ten years ago but, I today, chalk this up to simple IPv4 centric zenophobia.

I wonder if we should setup a sticky thread of similarly IPv4 centric sites?
