[SOLVED] can't connect to github.com

I can access github.com from other devices on my home network. I can use lynx, curl, wget, git clone on my arch install with any other host I can think of. But github.com can't be found via any of those programs. I can't even open the main page much less clone a repo, so my makepkg is pretty much broken. I tried changing and adding DNS servers, no difference. It looks like it's exclusive to github.com with this machine and I can't fathom what the underlying cause might be. What am I missing here?

All zeroes, resolves to 140.82.112.4:443 and then

* Immediate connect fail for 140.82.112.4: Network is unreachable
* Closing connection 0
curl: (7) Couldn't connect to server

It resolves as 140.82.112.3 for me.

Re: [SOLVED] can't connect to github.com

github has the IP block 140.82.112.0/20 which covers both the above addresses.
Edit:
What is the output of

ip r

Re: [SOLVED] can't connect to github.com

What about:

ip l
ip a

Without any routing I am surprised any websites worked.

I tried using termbin.com and it couldn't resolve that either so maybe my DNS isn't so great after all?

Re: [SOLVED] can't connect to github.com

Do the other systems without the issue have IPV4 addresses assigned to them?  If not the issue would appear to be DNS resolution returning IPV4 results instead of IPV6.

Re: [SOLVED] can't connect to github.com

I think I figured something out at least. nmcli shows that the interface is set to IPv6 default and

ip -6 r

shows a routing table so maybe it's just lacking IPv4 configuration altogether?
