NPM used to work no problem but now for some reason anything I try to do that involves connecting to the registry times out.
The failure message I get from NPM is request to https://registry.npmjs.org/corepack failed, reason: connect EHOSTUNREACH 2606:4700::6810:1223:443
The command I’m running is npm update -g.
I’m on Arch Linux, and I installed the NPM package from arch. It is version 8.19.2 (the latest on arch).
I tried two DNS, the one I’m using now is Cloudflare (1.1.1.1).
Pinging “registry.npmjs.org” results in From 2600:1700:4630:c000::1 (2600:1700:4630:c000::1) icmp_seq=1 Destination unreachable: Address unreachable
But if I go to registry.npmjs.org in my web browser, I get the expected json result.
Any help is appreciated.

For some reason ipv6 requests are not working on my current network. I “solved” the issue for now by preferring ipv4 using the solution in the link above. Ultimately I’d like to find out why ipv6 is not working on my computer/network but for now this is fine.
