IPv6 Timeouts for blueprint and hacks install

With HACKs and Blueprint installs I’m in both cases getting Timeout errors.

most threads about this appear to be quite old and all suggest disabling IPV6 all together.

I’ve turned off IPv6 in my router a few days ago and restarted router and HA. There arn’t any IPv6 Showing for the device running HA in the router. Yet I’m still seeing the timeout errors.

thanks in advance and here are the log entries

Blueprint install:

In case anyone finds this through search. I solved the problem. it was indeed IPv6 related. I had turned off IPv6 in my router, but I had forgotten that I had setup a static IPv6 in the Homeassistant Network Settings.
I deactivated IPv6 in the HA Network settings and now HACS and Blueprints will install.

I confirm too! it’s IPv6 related. I had to change the following setting in my Netgear router:

IPv6 Filtering from secure to open … might not be so safe so I will close the setting after downloading my custom integrations each time again.

I had this problem for MONTHS.

I didn’t have to change nothing on my router, only on HA network settings.

THANKS!!

I’ve also had intermittent but very annoying issues with HACS updates failing and timing-out. I can confirm that disabling IPv6 in the HA Network Interfaces screen has fixed the problem.
I do not have any other issues with IPv6 on my network and I’m disappointed that HA has this problem with HACS. I do not want to leave IPv6 disabled for longer than I have to.
It’s also disappointing that the timeout messages in the HA log suggest “This is not a HACS issue - fix your network” - which (a) is very unhelpful, and (b) is almost certainly incorrect.

Github doesn’t seem to support IPv6 :scream:

I turned off IPv6 in HA’s Network settings but still have these timeouts… any ideas?
