[SOLVED] Cannot access forum.mikrotik.com in IPv6

Tue Sep 22, 2020 1:38 pm

As the title says. A few days back we had problems accessing the forum in IPv6 because one of the upstream providers had extreme RTT so the requests timed out.
Now we get a connection reset when trying to access it.
Anyone else experiencing it? I had to disable IPv6 in order to access and post this.
Maybe it's not the best place to report the problem but I didn't find other ways to contact the admins.

So how exactly is Mikrotik supposed to help if some third party (one of your upstream ISPs) breaks things in IPv6? Proper action would be to complain to your ISP with some traceroutes showing the point of failure.

Forum related issues can be reported to support (via help.mikrotik.com or e-mail) but I doubt the admins will disable IPv6 to resolve your specific issue (and causing outage for all IPv6-only users).

@mkx: it's an upstream on MikroTik side, sorry, I forgot to mention. I already tried to contact that specific ISP but to no avail.

@nescafe2002: thanks for pointing out. I don't want them to disable IPv6, instead there may be some users IPv6-only not reaching the forum.
