That hostname resolves to `2a05:87c6:1:1cc8::1` for me. I confirmed that the IP address is reachable from most networks I tried but it is not reachable from or

The problem seems to affect both ssh and ping. With both protocols I get an ICMPv6 error message back:
```
ICMP6, destination unreachable, unreachable address 2a05:87c6:1:1cc8::1, length 88
```

The origin of the ICMPv6 error message is 2001:8b0:0:53::109 or 2a00:1098:2::7 depending on which provider I connect from.

Here is an example traceroute output:
```
root@nat64-london:~# traceroute -n -I 2a05:87c6:1:1cc8::1
traceroute to 2a05:87c6:1:1cc8::1 (2a05:87c6:1:1cc8::1), 30 hops max, 80 byte packets

2 2a00:1098:2:ffff::9c 0.401 ms 0.387 ms 0.375 ms

```

The last hop limit exceeded message came from the same IP as the unreachable address. The later error message was delayed by 3 seconds.

In my experience the 3 second delay is most often caused by a neighbor discovery timeout. That indicates that 2a00:1098:2::7 and 2001:8b0:0:53::109 have a route forward towards the destination, but the next hop is not responding to neighbor solicitation messages.
