Hi all,
I hope this is not offtopic here. If so, pls let me know a better place
for this question.
I configured wireguard to route both IPv4 and IPv6. Both protocols work
fine. But test-ipv6.com only gives 9/10 points because the browser does
not use IPV6 even though it is available.
Then I investigated a bit and found this:
ping -4 dns.google => ping sequence starts immediately
ping -6 dns.google => .5 secs delay => ping sequence starts
ping -6 dns.google => ping sequence starts immediately
i.e.: On the first try, ping6 takes longer, but the second time there is
no delay anymore.
I suspected DNS trouble, but pinging 2001:4860:4860::8844 shows the
exact same behavior: delay the first time, no delay next time.
Yet I couldn't determine how long I need to wait until a second try
becomes a first one again, i.e. the delay shows up again.
Any ideas where to look next?
