Hi 'all ---> new install 11.2-STABLE ... had problems installing packages at a certain point, and even the ports stopped downloading files while compiling. Background: TunnelBroker protocol 41 / IPV6 over IPV4 networking. It all worked fine since last week of June with FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE. Named/Bind service works fine over IPV6, Firefox fine accessing ipv6.google.com...but when the gif0 interface is activated, no web access for pkg program *search *install *etc. When I shut down the gif interface, pkg works like greased' lightning! This is pretty unusual. FreeBSD networking stack is amazing..but that's what I have 'right now'. Can replicate. Will work with developers. thanks! --G
Can you please run an example pkg search/install under truss(1) and attach the log? E.g., (as root probably), $ truss -o pkg_ipv6.log pkg install foo If pkg doesn't do anything too crazy that may help tell us what has gone wrong. Thanks.

After checking the network ipv6 chain, I discovered that the end-point ip for the ipv6 tunnel had changed in the router. (likely thunderstorm caused) Since the computer had not been rebooted, the routing tables pointing to IPV6 land were still active but the link to IPV6 was not. Thanks to all who helped ! --G
