        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

        If you do not support IPv6 operation, you maybe should not publish an AAAA record in your DNS!

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

        cheers,

        Dave

          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.

          Is currently using an Op5t
          Also owns an Op1, a BQ E4.5 and an Xperia X, as well as a BQ tablet and a Pinetab2. Please, someone... make it stop.
