Hi,

Cogent is not able to receive traffic from Google since February 2016,
the case is the same with HE since 2010.

So, as a quick workaround, you have to connect your network to another
IPv6 transit operator for these destinations.

I you don’t have this possibility, you can set up an IPv6-in-IPv4 tunnel
to HE; the IPv4 traffic flows normally.
