Hi!
Thanks a lot for you reply.

Yes, I used the wrong URL.

Maybe it will be fixed or something in this direction.

That sounds logical. Also, if you have configured IPv6 privacy extensions.

Especially, if you are behind a CGN and your ISP DNS returns an private
IPv4 address.

That's the way I've configured it in the past.

It depends. If you only have the choice between cable or xDSL networks.
I would be happy, if I could get a Gigabit connection for an affordable
price to spend more bandwidth. But the EU is sometimes like an
underdeveloped country. They call it: "Connecting Europe" or Digital
Single Market (DAE 2020).

Hmm, I've called some technicians of the ISP, they said, that they have
disabled IPv6 in some of there modems, because of issues. And it's a
relative new thing. My answer was, that the RFC 2460 exists since 1998.
That's a really innovation.
