[Cerowrt-devel] [Bloat] OT: Netflix vs 6in4 from HE.net

[Sebastian Moeller]

Hi Rich,

since it seems to be IPv6 related, why not use firefox for netflix and disable IPv6 in firefox (see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-cant-load-websites-other-browsers-can#w_ipv6) maybe that works well enough?

Best Regards
	Sebastian
