Ask HN: Does HN Support IPv6? 5 points by nuker 3y ago ↗ HN There seems to be no AAAA dns records, and fallback to IPV4 fails for login page. Is it only me?
[–] chickin 3y ago ↗ It doesn't.This shouldn't block adoption, since a dual stack would still be able to access v4, and even a v6-only stack would be able to access v4 via NAT64.Small/medium sites don't need to be bullied into adoption just yet. [–] nuker 3y ago ↗ Im not bullying anyone :) My Mac prefers IPV6 it seems, and if i press login on HN I get blank page. It is just annoying. If I set IPV6 in Network Prefs to Link local only, login works. [–] p1mrx 3y ago ↗ You probably need to investigate further. It's unclear why disabling IPv6 would have any effect on an IPv4-only website.
