Got to revert this — apparently some networks require IPv6. |

github.com/getlantern/radianceto thesuppress-ipv6branch (getlantern/radiance#517), which suppresses IPv6 inside the tunnel so applications fall back to IPv4.Why
On global-IPv6 networks, AAAA traffic for dual-stack sites was routed onto a v6 path that stalled with no fallback — surfacing as an endless spinner (e.g. YouTube video that never plays) while connected.
What the bump brings (radiance)
Aqueries route to the fake-IP server;AAAAis answered with NODATA (NOERROR + no records) so clients see no v6 address and use IPv4.::/0) are rejected with the default method (ICMP unreachable / RST → Happy Eyeballs fails over to IPv4 at once), as a backstop for v6 that escapes AAAA suppression. Gated on the TUN having captured a v6 address.Note
Points at a radiance branch commit, not
main. Depends on getlantern/radiance#517 — once that merges, re-bump to the resultingmainpseudo-version before merging this.
