Accessing validate-explorer.php from a miredo-connected machine

[kurai]

so standard ipv6 connectivity tests work:

But when I try the certification web page it shows me an ipv4 address. I'm connecting currently from different network than where my ipv6 tunnel.

This is an ubuntu 9.10 machine, with miredo installed from apt.

I believe that with dual-stacked sites, the browser will default to IPv4 if using 6to4 and teredo.

I can confirm.

You would need to test with an IPv6 only site like ipv6.google.com

So there's no way to access the certification page unless I'm in my tunnelbroker subnet?

[cholzhauer]

There might be an IPv6 only part of it...I dunno.

But, I guess the question is why are you using Teredo instead of getting a tunnel set up through HE?

Oh, well, I have an HE tunnel at home, but I'm not at home right now and wanted to look at the certification pages.

I've actually had the opposite problem where I go to an IPv6 enabled site, yet I want to connect via IPv4 because of IP restrictions (.htaccess deny/allow without v6 entries.) 

You can short circuit the browser/os default preferred method by putting a static entry in your hosts file.  Obviously it's not an ideal solution, but it works for temporary connectivity problems to specific sites.
