        Hi,

        running the ubports installer on saturday I had stochastic download errors ("ECONNRESET") that made it impossible to finish installation, until I disabled my IPv6 internet support alltogether.

        Right now I can reproduce the problem, a significant percentage of SSL connection attempts die after the TLS client hello due to the server sending a RST packet.

        https_proxy= wget https://system-image.ubports.com//20.04/arm64/android9plus/stable/mimameid/version-1.tar.xz.asc

        This is the corresponding tcpdump:

        This is running on a Devuan-Linux server connected via DSL directly on a PPPoE modem. So no middle-boxes (NAT etc.) involved (not that I'd expect any NAT to happen on IPv6).

        Though this could still be my internet provider doing shenanigans.

        Can you collect packet captures on your side, so we can compare where those RST packets are injected?

        Note also, that forums.ubports.com is currently broken when running via a IPv6 connection. Maybe your browser's Happy Eyeballs implementation hides the problem from you, but with a HTTPS proxy currently any connection attempts time out for me.

        cheers,

        Dave

          Just to reiterate, this is a stochastic problem. The majority of SSL connection attempts just work. For reference, here is the wget output and a (truncated) tcpdump for the case where it happens to work:

          looking at the packet contents in wireshark, I cannot spot any difference in what my host sends out between the cases where it works vs. where it does not work (i.e. I don't think that wget or my firewall is to blame).

            This seems to be a general problem with IPv6 access to cloudflare CDN from my location.

            Same things happens e.g. for linux.die.net, too

            $ wget -6 https://linux.die.net -O/dev/null

            both system-image.ubports.com and linux.die.net appear to be hosted via cloudflare CDN.
