Wish I read this thread earlier. Damn. I just went through the whole

=C2=AB

Oh right. RIGHT. I'm SURE they'll be able to help.
=C2=BB
=E2=80=A6and I came to the same conclusion and similar resolution (adding=
an
outbound rule rejecting traffic to 2620:108:700f::/48, causing fallback
to IPv4 worked for me).
At least I got the support rep to SAY he opened a ticket.
Wow! It's my chance to be the noisy minority!
