API SSL error with some ipv6 addresses about telegram-bot-api HOT 27 OPEN

For me api.telegram.org resolves to 2001:67c:4e8:f004::9, which isn't in the mentioned network.

from telegram-bot-api.

Exactly, but why I didn't get full answer with IPv6 belonging to the above /48 range ?

from telegram-bot-api.

Why should you receive an answer from the 2001:67c:1298::/48 IP address, if api.telegram.org resolves to another address?

from telegram-bot-api.

OK, seems I didn't explain clearly: my IP is from 2001:67c:1298::/48 range. My other IP is from 2a01:4f8:210::/48 range. Connecting to api using the IP from this second range is OK but when I use the other IP from the first range I see some traffic with tcpdump, outgoing and incoming, which means both servers are connected and exchanging datas but nothing else, it finish with a timeout in terminal mode or error 28 SSL inside Librenms.

Hope you now understand the problematic ;)

from telegram-bot-api.

This looks like an Internet connectivity issue, which happens much more often with IPv6 networks. You can try to use tcptraceroute to find the cause of the issue and report it to your Internet provider.

from telegram-bot-api.

I don't think so: from the same IP range other computer I have the same problem. Also this server is ONLY ipv6 and running 24h/24h (backups, web server, emails aso) so I would not put 1 cent of the connectivity. Server is in a DC with other of our servers, no one is showing a problem. And remember, Librenms is running on it watching our servers in various countries, not any alert about such a failure.

from telegram-bot-api.

mtr report 17ms avg time with 0% loss for 100 packets sent

from telegram-bot-api.

mtr uses ICMPv6 packets, so its results are often irrelevant when investigating TCP connectivity issues.

from telegram-bot-api.

Please, dont't try to explain me how mtr/icmp/... works. Generally we all use ICMP/ICMPv6 to check connectivity. If you feel out of idea, just tell it.

Remember with one IP range it's OK the other one not, both using the same Internet provider till a certain point.

from telegram-bot-api.

If site works from one network and doesn't work from another, then this is very likely to be a network connectivity issue. The used protocol for data transfer is of utmost importance in the case of such network issues. For api.telegram.org there is no difference from which IPv6 address the request is received.

from telegram-bot-api.

I opened a case on peering partner. I ran a tcptraceroute6 and got for port 80

Nothing more

So like icmpv6, tcp6 seems OK but still in error. Banging my head :)

Could you also try mtr --tcp -P 443?

from telegram-bot-api.

Could you also try from some other IP address from the 2001:67c:1298::0/48 network other than 2001:67c:1298::ff04?

from telegram-bot-api.

Same with all 2001:67c:1298::/64 range (I use this /64 and 2001:67c:1298:10::/64 from this /48 range)

I downloaded with curl from various repos including debian-netinstall.iso, everything like expected.

from telegram-bot-api.

Question now is why in the first case I receive a false seq number with P flag ?

It's really strange that you are able to receive the answer from api.telegram.org through another IPv6 address, but not through the default one. This could mean that someone in the middle intentionally blocks HTTPS to the specififc IPv6 address. Also, it can be seen from tcpdump that TCP connection was established and is dropped some time after it was established, hence this isn't a network connectivity issue.

Do you really meant ipv6 2001:67c:4e8:f004::8 and not ::9 ?

I have to add that against ipv6 ending with ::8 I get the same result -above one- with both IPs. If I do the test against ::9, only the "good" ipv6 shows the same result, the failing one giving

curl -v --resolve api.telegram.org:443:[2001:67c:4e8:f004::9] https://api.telegram.org/bot123456789:AAAAAAAA/getme

from telegram-bot-api.

Do you really meant ipv6 2001:67c:4e8:f004::8 and not ::9 ?

Yes. We wanted to test with the same server with a different IPv6 address.

from telegram-bot-api.

So as I get same result with my both ipv6 IPs against ::8 it means that something is wrong with ::9

Up ?

Did you receive response from the peering partner?

from telegram-bot-api.

They say they are not involved, which seems to be right for me. Connecting to ::8 is OK to ::9 not, so they are in the pass on both IPs and don't fail with ::8

from telegram-bot-api.

::8 has connected you with a server that is available with ::9, so there are no issues with TCP, IPv6, or Telegram servers. TCP with ::9 also works, so there is a specific issue with using HTTPS from your server to ::9.

I have the same issue for the telegram API when using IPv6! Sometimes its just working but most of time its not. v4 always fine.

curl -6 -vvv -S -s -q -X POST "https://api.telegram.org/bot${TOKEN}/sendMessage"

Any other IPv6 server with curl tests just fine and always works.
