[Taurean75]

Hello --

I use Hurricane Electric IPv6 Tunnel that is working just fine. When I try to load frontier.com, however, the connection resets. I can ping it fine, though, which goes through the IPv6 tunnel.

What's odd is that I can't load just the front page -- other pages load okay.

Any idea?

On either native Comcast or HE colo, I get the following with curl:

[Taurean75]

Hmmm, I get the same thing with curl.

It works if I turn the tunnel off, though.

[Taurean75]

It works with the tunnel in LA.

Definitely seeing some weirdness but I think its on frontier's end... From my HE.net tunnel traceroute6 behaves weird looping through two hops:
