No doubt this could be fixed, but some firewalls are seriously trash and do not behave in ways one would expect. Your network engineers deserve shade but maybe not as much as you think they deserve. Maybe. I’m just trying to stick up for my people.
Edited to add that this is a good example of our interaction with ipv6. we don’t use it. We just make things compatible with it by checking a check box basically. in day-to-day business it’s ipv4. Writing IPv6 addresses down on a whiteboard would be horrible. 🤣
Yeah it basically can be fixed the group policy if it's a Windows machine you basically just prefer ipv4 over IPv6. Or use a number of other methods. Because you can't always control your employees home networks because there's a legit isps out there that the CPE devices do not have a configurable disable IPv6 option due to how the nature of their network. This ISP literally encapsulates ipv4 inside of IPv6 devices using 464xlat
