ipv6 unable to go to github
I have a IPv6 only VPS which is capable of accessing Google and Lowendbox, traceroute attached (removed first few lines):
traceroute6 ipv6.google.com
traceroute to ipv6.google.com (2607:f8b0:4002:805::200e), 30 hops max, 80 byte packets

However when I tried to traceroute Github I got the following error:
traceroute6 github.com
github.com: No address associated with hostname
Cannot handle "host" cmdline arg `github.com' on position 1 (argc 1)
I am using the Google DNS resolvers.
Is Github actually not accessible via IPv6 only?
Comments
No, they do not support IPv6 only -
https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/75323/does-github-support-ipv6
Wow, can't believe how slow they are...
Is there any way we can do a 6To4 tunnel? i.e., able to connect with IPv6 only to an IPv4 network somehow...if I don't have any IPv4 address in my disposal? I know HE has a tunnelbroker but it seems only goes one direction (v4 to v6).
EDIT: never mind, solution is in that post too: https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/1538786/#Comment_1538786
Well, the joke is, since I am using v6, some websites have it enabled and some of them even have it broken. So everytime the DNS resolves v6 instead v4 the website does not work. Everything from SSL errors to website not responding.
I guess I turn v6 rather off again.
Did you seriously need a LET thread to find out whether or not a domain name is IPv6-enabled?
I was just wondering why I couldn't access just Github, thought there was something wrong in my config, I didn't know it was not IPv6 enabled until @AlexanderM replied
