Tried another access point and everything works. The thing is I’m using the same router I have been for years and haven’t changed anything. This leaves ipv6 ipoe as the culprit. Looked into it further and noticed the ISP is hijacking my DNS and forcing some sort of EU DNS. No thanks!! Can’t disable it, can’t remove.

Digging around further found that brave and chrome use some sort of secure dns setting that apparently Safari doesn’t (hence my stuff working there).

Also learned that many CDNs block direct IP destinations and require a domain name or won’t load the website. Wow… new to me.

Anyway, my ISP is doing something, likely DNS being the issue, or some other IPV6 related filtering or something.

Tunnel your dns requests with cloudflared, or just go full VPN.

So a combination of cloudflared for tunneling Dns and then VPN?

I might just switch to ipv4.

Can't you complain with your provider saying you need VPN for work?

Somehow I doubt they care. I’ll make a switch - easy enough. In Japan the cable provider and ISP are separate entities to switching ISPs is not hard.
