Google Blocking Hurricane Electric Tunneled IPv6 /64s

Probably someone tried to use a tunnel for a DoS, to access from a sanctioned country, or some other trigger for automatic blocking. Google really shouldn't block all HE because of one or a few subnets doing this, but it's understandable.

For the last few weeks, a number of HE.net tunnel users have reported an abundance of CAPTCHA requests, like for every single search homepage visit, which would be consistent with your supposition.

For a number of weeks HE tunnel users have being reporting packet loss, it's thought this might be due to abuse.

Interesting, do you know if this is limited to a specific endpoint?

I was wondering if it was only me... do you have any links about those complaints?
