forums.ubports.com times out when running on an IPv6-enabled internet connection.

Hi,
forums.ubports.com currently fails to work for me, when using a HTTPS proxy, as the proxy appears to be less smart than Firefox in not quickly falling back to IPv4 when the IPv6 connection stalls.
This is easily reproduced via
wget:$ https_proxy= wget --timeout=5 -O/dev/null https://forums.ubports.com --2023-07-11 09:48:29-- https://forums.ubports.com/ Resolving forums.ubports.com (forums.ubports.com)... 2a03:b0c0:2:d0::ebb:7001, 134.122.62.36 Connecting to forums.ubports.com (forums.ubports.com)|2a03:b0c0:2:d0::ebb:7001|:443... failed: Connection timed out.

$ dig forums.ubports.com AAAA [..] forums.ubports.com. 210 IN AAAA 2a03:b0c0:2:d0::ebb:7001cheers,

THANK YOU! I have spent months wondering why I could suddenly no longer read the forums on my browser of choice, and had to fall back on my secondary. You gave me the pointer I needed.
