Research direction

Start by inspecting the client's networking code and the path that obtains an IP address and connects to FAF servers. Reproduce the issue with IPv6 enabled and a working IPv6 gateway, then determine whether the client selects an unusable IPv6 address. Done means IPv6 connections work, or the client warns and falls back to IPv4.
