Hi all,
I tried installing a package from npm and ran into a DNS resolution issue. npm was working fine a few days ago. Running npm i -g gh gives the following error:
npm ERR! code ENETUNREACH
npm ERR! syscall connect
npm ERR! errno ENETUNREACH
npm ERR! request to https://registry.npmjs.org/gh failed, reason: connect ENETUNREACH 2606:4700:9763:80e2:e439:0:6810:1023:443
I’ll list the results of a few ping commands:
> ping registry.npmjs.org
> PING registry.npmjs.org(2606:4700:83b3:80e2:e439:0:6810:1023 (2606:4700:83b3:80e2:e439:0:6810:1023)) 56 data bytes

As you can see there is some issue with reaching certain websites when using IPv6. Also, I tried downloading a npm package from the browser and that worked fine.
I don’t know much about networking so any help with troubleshooting this will be appreciated.
P.S. I’m on a fully updated install of Endeavour OS:
KDE Plasma 5.27.0
Kernel 6.1.12-arch1-1
NetworkManager 1.42.0-1
