Comment on T-Mobile, please fix your gateways

I just went to viclone.com on my Nexus 5 via Tmobile LTE and it connected fine.... https://www.dropbox.com/s/c5s5pw4ydohhr4g/Screenshot_2014-01...

It might be because Nexus 5 is configured to connect through their IPv6 routing. (Not that viclone.com seems to have AAAA record, but it's looking like all traffic are routed through T-mobile's 6to4 so it might make a difference, too.)

It's a NAT64. 6to4 is for tunneling IPv6 packets over an IPv4 network.

Thanks for the correction. Those do get mixed up in my mind...

That seems to be the answer: if you set the APN on the Nexus 5 to IPv4, the site will fail to open, whereas on IPv6 it works.
