Hey folks

Running into a wall with my IPv6-only VPS at HostHatch. git clone from GitHub times out, curl -6 github.com hangs. I suspect GitHub still lacks full v6 support on some endpoints.

Before I escalate to their support, wanted to check what workarounds the community is actually using. NAT64? Proxy jump through another box? Specific mirrors?

Thanks in advance 👍

This is why I keep a $3 dual stack box at GreenCloudVPS lol Just proxy thru that, set GIT_SSH_COMMAND to use it, or run tinyproxy. Takes like 5 min. You could also use nat64 but I find it flaky, they drop packets for no reason sometimes Or just clone from codeberg, they have v6 everywhere
