Just an FYI, but nginx and freenginx are **completely independent
products**. If you are looking for support/questions with regards to
the NGINX in ubuntu, you should be reaching out to nginx.org mailing
lists or support mechanisms from Ubuntu.

nginx/1.18.0 (Ubuntu). For decades we have never explicitly

As of two days ago, W3C (world wide web consortium) html, css, etc
verification tools are no longer functional -- our websites "time out"
"500 Can't connect to mysite.com:443 (Connection timed out)"
W3C have nslookup showing ipv4 and ipv6 addresses. There is nothing
in our firewalls "denying" them, there is nothing in the nginx logs.
I'm reticent to just add trillions of ipv6 possibilities of abuse
(we're experiencing om/off ddos attacks from ai/automated/bots to the
tune of 56^6/day).
Any thoughts?
