insight.dash.org rejecting ipv6 packets #95

Description

@coolaj86

insight.dash.org has a AAAA DNS record (ipv6) registered, but is ONLY listening on the A (ipv4) address (or the firewall is just dropping ipv6 traffic entirely).

This causes a timeout for people who are on Comcast, Cox and other networks which use IPv6 by default when available.

Fail:
Error: connect ETIMEDOUT 2600:1f14:14c:4006:8c85:66c2:e136:f339:443
    at TCPConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (node:net:1300:16)

Disable IPv6 on your computer... 🤦‍♀️
