IPv6 Compatable - Omniscient - Dec 19, 2017
WTF! I just noticed that I think the HF servers aren't compatible with IPv6 connections. Cloudflare is suppose to fix that but I think there is a problem.
Looking into this now but WTF! WTF! This might be preventing a lot of people from visiting HF.
Anyone have an IPv6 that can connect to HF?

I wouldn't bet on that man. Most VPN's aren't IPv6 and if it were true, you'd have seen many complaints already
Stop worrying.. But yeah, you should get it IPv6 compatable

IPv6 uptake has been extremely slow so I would doubt that. I attempted to connect to HackForums via a number of different IPv6 endpoints and each time received a 403 response, so I assume these are on your blocklists. If your server has a relatively modern kernel and networking stack there shouldn't be any issues with IPv6 compatibility.

I got it working correctly now. Pain in the ass. So many layers to check. :(
Cloudflare was doing psuedo translations for HF so logs showed IPV4 but it was also blocking some connections. Wasn't working as it should but I think it's all good now.
Part of the issue was that MyBB 1.8x wasn't ipv6 compatible so I never enabled it fully until now since we are suppose to be compatible.

Try now please. Seems to be working.

IIRC CloudFlare has a switch you can toggle on the dashboard to enable IPv6 at the DNS layer.

I connected earlier with ipv6 working without a problem.
