Hi,
After enabling '6RD', i.e. an IPv6 over IPv4 tunnel, basic IPv6 connectivity works, but I'm experiencing significant timeouts with a subset of sites. This is perhaps best illustrated by a large number of failures in the 'Other IPv6 Sites' tab on https://test-ipv6.com/
I initially suspected a problem with Path MTU Discovery, but I've confirmed that is working as intended, e.g. using http://icmpcheckv6.popcount.org/
Varying the MTU manually, I discovered that the problem appears to be with the tunnel MTU setting. I have an MTU on my IPv4 ISP connection of 1500; the tunnel appears to default to an MTU of 1480. If I lower the MTU to 1412, everything works perfectly - no problems browsing sites and no test failures anywhere.
I think an MTU setting is needed in the 6RD section of the connection settings - unfortunately I don't have the luxury of being able to set it manually on all my networked devices (nor would it be particularly efficient).
Thanks!

Based on your description, it seems that you need to ask assistance from your ISP.
