The problem with IPv6 connection got me each time with Git hostings and recently with ruby gem registry. I don’t know the root of this problem, just turned off IPv6 and everything is fine.

There a several ways to do it, though. One helps me with GitLab SSH access and second with ruby gem registry.

Configure SSH to work with IPv4 instead of IPv6

Run sudo $EDITOR /etc/ssh/ssh_config, find the field AddressFamily and set it to inet. You are done :)

Open Edit Connections... menu in nm-applet, choose the network you’re using right now, double-click on it, open IPv6 Settings tab and set Method to Link-Local Only. This settings solved my problems with other registers like ruby gems and bun.js.

Good luck!
