I don't know what happed to 2600::, but 2a09:: and 2a11:: can be
used as alternatives. These are addresses of https://dns.sb/ running

Very good DNS service, buy the way. But, although I undertsand the
point of having test IPv6 addresses which are easy to remember, this
is an opportunity to remind everybody that the pingability of these
addresses is not guaranteed.

Better to use machines which are intended for testing such as the RIPE
Atlas anchors <https://atlas.ripe.net/anchors/about/>.
