      What doesn't work? They all load over v6 for me, and a lot of others judging by the v6 traffic levels.

          From approx 12:00 UTC Saturday until sometime around 00:00 UTC Sunday (+/- a few hours as I was asleep) IPV6 access to any of the pfSense URLs either timed out or was very slow to load.  I spent most of Sunday here in Australia trying to figure out if it was something due to the 2.2.5 upgrade.  Everything is OK now but there were some significant problems during that time.  There are several threads where people made reference to the issue over the weekend:

            Nothing worked for about 1,5 days… None of the sites loaded.

                Another +1 for IPv6 issues over the weekend with pfsense.org.  I use a Hurricane Electric tunnel if that matters.  Sounds like the problem did not affect all IPv6 users, though.

                  I had issues hitting the forum on IPv6 over the weekend via HE.net tunnel - magically resolved itself yesterday morning. Ping worked the whole time.

                  AFAIK nothing was changed on our end, could have been somewhere in between

                    I have a native IPv6 connection but did notice from traceroutes that traffic was going through HE to get to pfSense.  Maybe it was them.

                        A routing issue on the Internet?  Unheard of!

                          lol
                          My point was that maybe pfsense guys could do nothing about it :=)
                          That issue was on higher level… Unheard levels...
