Good connection but consistently specific sites timeout

jt — Tue, 14 Oct 2025 11:57:33 GMT

Most internet is good and fast. But always timeout on https://news.ycombinator.com/ and https://age.yoti.com/ as two examples. Expect there are more.

Any ideas how to fix this? Going through support wasn't helpful, may try again.

These sites are accessible from other providers, e.g. my mobile phone when off the wifi

Is access to dropbox.com also an issue?

Yes, just hangs and times out in the same way.

I managed to fix it by doing the following:

- Navigating to 192.168.0.1 in a browser and logging in
- Clicking on Mobile Network > Internet Connection > Modify the APN with the name 3internet
- Change IP Type from IPv4v6 to IP

I fixed with APN from 3internet -> three.co.uk, chose IPv4. Thanks all!

IPv4/V6 to IP"what"?

The problem with three.co.uk is it uses GCNAT - which means you can't have any incoming connections - gaming has issues, incoming VPNs don't work. Lots of stuff fails, mostly for more advanced users.

Yep - its a classic way to test it.
