Unable to ping github in AWS IPv6-only EC2 instance

Time:10-28

I'm unable to ping many websites in my Amazon AWS EC2 instance, including github. It's an IPv6-only instance, and includes an internet gateway and a routing table that associates with that gateway. The routing table includes a route to the internet gateway.

Whenever I ping github.com, I get ping: connect: Network is unreachable. I am able to ping google.com from that instance. For my default VPC (ipv4), I'm able to ping github just fine from EC2 instances. Thanks for the help!

CodePudding user response:

IPv4 clients can’t talk to it directly to a IPv6 only Server. Google has IPv6 configured for their website but github.com does not. (But as I understand it they are close to suport it now)
