Description

Hello,

As of right now, the host that pfSense connects to check upgrades (pkg00-atx.netgate.com [2610:160:11:18::207]) is broken on the IPv6 side and not accepting requests.

The IPv4 side for this fqdn is working properly though.

Under this circumstance, clicking on System > Update stalls at "Retrieving", to finally give up with a "Unable to check for updates" message in red.

The updater should fall back to IPv4 in case IPv6 is not working as per RFC-6555 (Happy Eyeballs)

Regards

Tested on 2.7. The fetch does fall back to IPv4, but it does take several minutes for IPv6 to time out:
