First check your general IPv6 connectivity. At a command prompt or terminal check that your machine has a global unicast IPv6 address allocated (i.e. 2000::/3, so begins either 2XXX or 3XXX) as shown in these examples:

=== DNS Resolver Issues ===

Some DNS services don't seem to reliably resolve AAAA lookups. In particular, some appear to resolve A and AAAA records with different delays, and/or reliability, which sometimes causes web browsers to determine that only an IPv4 address exists since the IPv6 lookup resolves too slowly/unreliably. You can try one of the publicly accessible DNS resolvers as an alternative to your current providers' if you believe that this might be the case. For those using a tunneled IPv6 connection then it is likely that your tunnel provider also offers a DNS resolver:
