Some sites or services work only halfway

Your network got IPv6 but one piece (DNS, firewall, old server) does not understand it. Half works, half does not, and nobody knows why.

Try this first

  1. 1Test the problem site by replacing the URL with the raw IP. Works? Then it is DNS, likely IPv6.
  2. 2Test on a phone over 4G whether the site works there. Yes? Then it is your network.
  3. 3Temporarily disable IPv6 on the affected laptop (Windows: adapter > properties > uncheck IPv6) and retest. Works? Then the problem is at the IPv6 level.
  4. 4If it works without IPv6, turn it back on; leaving it off is a workaround, not a fix.

When to bring us in

IPv6 issues need calm tracing: firewall, DNS resolver, routes. We have tools to find where it breaks; usually half a day's work.
