The website worked for everybody not on AT&T mobile, and AT&T mobile users could access other sites; the problem was just this combination. Android and iOS phones, as well as a Linux system tethered to an Android phone, all had the same problem. On the Linux system, I disabled IPv6 in Firefox, and it could then connect. Browsers got various "connection reset" type errors; on Linux, I could telnet to port 80 or 443, and it would connect and immediately close. The site does have an IPv6 address, but I had missed getting the webserver to listen on IPv6 (my mistake). Adding that looks to have solved the problem. When I ran tcpdump on the server and had someone try to connect from their AT&T mobile iPhone, I saw three connection attempts a few tenths of a second apart (all refused by the server). My question is this: is AT&T mobile intercepting the TCP socket (and not handling "connection refused" correctly)? Is that a known thing?
Yes they are. You can see this in test-ipv6.com it will report the proxy/Via Header addition. - jared
