Mobile tethering does not work (seems due to a DNS issue)

Hello,

I encounter an annoying issue when using the wifi hotspot of my cellular phone on my Arch Linux computer.

The wifi hotspot works well, because I can ping or ssh every hosts connected on the same network.

But I cannot reach any website or ssh any hosts by using domain names. Same tests by using IP address work well.

So it looks like a DNS issue, but everything seems configured properly. Here is my /etc/resolv.conf file:

# Generated by resolvconf
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 2001:4860:4860::8888
nameserver 192.168.43.9

Also, same configuration worked before. Unfortunately I do not use often the mobile tethering, so I do not know if the issue is due to a particular update.

My provider is Bouygues Telecom (France) and from what I see, it only use IPv6. I do not know if it can be related.

Any help will be welcome.
