Recommended IPv6 DNS settings? (aka Google Services fail to connect randomly)

atamar

Hello

I started wondering about some Google services - Maps, Translate mainly - randomly failing to connect/refresh, working for a while in another browser, failing there, working again in another. Looking at router logs, an error led me to suspect that the Centro Grande is failing to work with IPv6 DNS queries. I'm currently testing by adding OpenDNS servers (2620:0:ccc::2, 2620:0:ccd::2), and things seem to be working so far (but it's too early to say conclusively).

In the meanwhile: what are the recommended DNS settings for those customers that have enabled IPv6?

I had problems with the automatically assigned 192.168.1.1.

Thanks for your input;

You could try to set the DNS servers manually on your clients.

As far as I know, there are no IPv6 reachable DNS servers but the official DNS resolver return IPv6 answers for google services.

The servers are:

195.186.1.162 and 195.186.4.162

If it works with this DNS servers set manually on clients it is probably a problem on the router.

If it does not work but works with the openDNS servers, there might be something wrong with the Swisscom DNS servers.
