But exactly as I hoped and expected ... when trying to call my system during the few minutes that it was off-line... :(

We are making progress.

Well, at least it tried IPv6...

With the force -6 it does not try IPv4  (v1,99 will try both with -64)

Tries IPv6 first.

And tries IPv4 next...

You can try again. You can also try some others from the weekly published IPv6 list. Wilfred, Kees, Andrew, Alexey...

I think if you let D'Bridge use that 1.99 version, outgoing IPv6 will work...


Cheers, Michiel
