[AusNOG] Telstra Mobile NAT64 Gateway dropping UDP?

Hi,

The app works fine on other IPv6 only networks with NAT64 in place which
appears to satisfy Apple's requirements.

We are looking into adding proxies with IPv6 support, however it's likely
to take some time and it would be good if we can find a fix / workaround in
the meantime

Thanks
