Hi,

Disclaimer; my knowledge of DA's inner workings is almost non-existent.

I had this issue as a user some years back at the company I work for. I 
had "native" (tunneled) IPv6 at home, and DA would not work. If I 
disabled IPv6 (either on my machine, or on my router), DA started 
working immediately.

It turned out that the FQDN used as the DA-endpoint (the destination 
where the client tries to establish the tunnel) had ULA as it's 
AAAA-record. When I confronted our DA-guy with this, he told me that it 
used to be in the official documentation from Microsoft to use ULA. I 
never actually cared enough to try looking it up (so I cannot say if it 
was real or not, or if it was misconfiguration regarding split-DNS), but 
in any case removing the AAAA-record (from the external DNS) solved the 
issue.

You can find the FQDN by issuing "netsh int teredo show state" or "netsh 
int httpstunnel show interfaces" in cmd. Do a lookup on it, and if there 
is no AAAA-record, the prefix policies that's been discussed might be 
the issue.
