Hello all,
i have recently configured ipv6 in 4 tunnel from HE. I am using edgerouter, that is sharing internet connection with local network clients.
Since i just started with the ipv6, i am not sure if its me that configured something incorrectly, or maybe its just the way it is. Would this be normal that i can't open websites for example:
https://tunnelbroker.net/
When my tunnel is estanblished?
I can ping v6 google, HE dns, the unnel endpoint client/server. But there are really a lot of websites i can't even open. I am really baffled.
I also do not understand what is happening if i am using windows client for example. and i have my local lan ipv4, + i also have now ipv6 from HE tunnel.
IF my browser opens google.com, is it opening the v6 or v4 version of it ?
Once connected with tunnel, i dont have problem for example opening google.com, but majority of websites from results.
I am also wondering if this is normal that the website from ipv6 tunnel broker is not opening. It's probably something on my end i guess.
Could anyone share any advice, or also recommend some books/trainings would be better to start reading in order to get some proper understanding  ?

Thank you in advance,
Greg

Have you properly set MTU of your tunnel interface and MTU in tunnelbroker configuration? It usually is 20 bytes smaller than the MTU of your outgoing interface. Or you can set it to minimum allowed value which is 1280 bytes to play it safe.

thank you for reply. Indeed that was the case with mtu. After lowering it a bit, my clients were able to use ipv6.
Still, i have been not able to configure it properly at home, my router could do iperf3 with 300Mbit/s , while my client PC could do 100 Kbit/s.
I was unable to set properly mtu, not sure how to do it. It also looks like i don't know if i change it , the change is applied immediately or if i have to wait few minutes.
