Scoop & Winget Struggling on My Network – Possible IPv6 Issue?

I'm encountering an issue with Windows package managers on my network. Specifically, Scoop fails to download or update packages entirely, while Winget takes nearly ten minutes to retrieve a single package.

However, when I switch to either of my phone's hotspots, downloads complete almost instantly (within a second). This behavior suggests a network-related bottleneck, but I can't pinpoint the cause.

Could this be an IPv6-related issue, or something else within my local network configuration? Any insights would be appreciated.

Install Wireshark and find out what is happening on Windows. You can also use it to visualise packet traces from OPNsense, should the need arise. https://www.wireshark.org/
