Turns out it has nothing to do with my IPv4 connectivity. Neither of my ISPs has native IPv6 connectivity, so both require tunnels (one of them to HE.net, one to the ISPs own tunnel broker), and both appear to be detected as a non-permitted VPN. As an early IPv6 adopter, I've had IPv6 on all my household devices for years now. So after having to temporarily turn off IPv6 at my desktop to fix issues with pay.gov (FCC license payments), and issues with various other things, and then remember to turn it back on again... I now have the reason I've been waiting for to turn it off globally for the whole house.

But if the system is telling you that error code, it is a setting on
the local network, call your ISP, they can assist you on that issue. Oh right. RIGHT. I'm SURE they'll be able to help. » …and I came to the same conclusion and similar resolution (adding an outbound rule rejecting traffic to 2620:108:700f::/48, causing fallback to IPv4 worked for me). At least I got the support rep to SAY he opened a ticket. Wow! It's my chance to be the noisy minority!
