Plusnet Gateway dropping IPv6 tunnel data

The Gateway with IP 195.166.130.254 appears to be dropping or blocking 6in4 tunnel traffic from Hurricane Electric. This results in timeouts for IPv6 connections.

Is anyone else seeing this behaviour who are also with HE?

That's RPM to you!!

Re: Plusnet Gateway dropping IPv6 tunnel data

@RPMozley  is your H.E. tunnel endpoint in London the server "tserv1.lon2" ?

- that device is currently showing a warning - "New tunnels temporarily disabled due to high usage"

 

The other H.E. London endpoints "tserv5.lon1" and "tserv17.lon1" are not reporting any issues.

 

I would have tried to help you by attempting to reproduce your problem on my setup, having used an H.E. tunnel for about eleven years, but I now have native IPv6, and my H.E. tunnel config has been cleared out of my router.

 

If you are on "tserv1.lon2", then just go into your Tunnelbroker account, change the endpoint to one of the others, then update the tunnel IP address in your router to match. (that's what I had to do when my "tserv5.lon1" endpoint went down for a month).

Re: Plusnet Gateway dropping IPv6 tunnel data

I’m aware of that server issue but my tunnel is to “5.1” and not “1.2”.
The tunnel works perfectly fine on my current gateway server “195.166.130.251”.
There seems to be something different with the 195.166.130.254 gateway.

Thanks for your input though @outcast
