I have been getting ipv6 for few months and yesterday onwards, I cant access ipv6 even though an ipv6 address is allocated for me in my Openwrt router in bridge mode. What may be the issue?

Can you do a traceroute to Google on Ipv6?
 
2001:4490:3fbc::24 looks like the ISP Gateway from the latency , so the packet is reaching from your router to BSNL's fine. It's likely an issue on BSNL side rather than yours especially considering it was working for you till recently.

I can't ping 2001:4490:3fbc::24 from my IPv6 server located outside BSNL Network (neither UDP,TCP nor ICMP work).

Code:

That ip is not reachable from any network including bsnl

But one BSNL probe could ping ipv6 google.com its hosted in some education institute so - RIPE Atlas

IPv6 is dead for me as well since several hours, not sure when exactly it stopped working though, but sometime today.

Code:

I keep forgetting to use Atlas for this stuff lol.

@varkey I'm curious why the fe80:: address is showing up on OP's traceroute but not yours.
 
@JB700 Was wondering the same. Ideally, each device gets a public IPv6 address, and it should not show the link local IP address. Perhaps a difference in configuration? 🤷🏻‍♂️

In the trace I shared, the first hop, is the public IPv6 address of my router.
 
Sorry for off topic post- are ipv6 addresses NATed like ipv4 addresses? Or is it always a public ip? Can ipv6 even be NATed?
 
IPV4 uses NAT to overcome the shortage of IP addresses. Since there’s no shortage of IP’s in IPV6, there’s no need to use NAT in IPV6.
 
IPV6 IP getting assigned , but no internet access. Doesn't looks like LCO issue as all IPV6 users stopped getting the service.
