ipv6 vps fresh install Network is unreachable
I have a new debian 9 vps instance, the cheapest one, with ipv6.
The package manager (apt) works fine, but I have some network problems:
for example I need to setup a wordpress site, so when I try to download wordpress using wget, this happens:
user@server:~# wget https://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
--2020-11-11 19:44:41-- https://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
Resolving wordpress.org (wordpress.org)... 198.143.164.252
Connecting to wordpress.org (wordpress.org)|198.143.164.252|:443... failed: Network is unreachable.
Also if I try to clone a git repo from github I cant,
The curious thing is that if a do ping to google.com or youtube.com I get the expected output, but if I try to ping wordpress.org or github.com ping says: connect: Network is unreachable.
I haven't set anything more than install git with apt, It's a truly fresh install and I can't get some really needed resources from some url's, so whats going on? What do I have to do?

Hello,
Google and YouTube support IPv6. The other sites do not. For example, your error message shows the address for wordpress.org.
Connecting to wordpress.org (wordpress.org)|198.143.164.252|:443... failed: Network is unreachable.
198.143.164.252 is an IPv4 address. An IPv6-only instance will not connect to sites without IPv6 addresses. To resolve the issue, you'll need to upgrade to an instance with IPv4 support.
