 Thank you. Based on that your local computers network stack is broken, as
 the problem exists before your network router.

 https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=259467 lists similar errors.

 You can determine if it's DNS or IP Routing by trying by IP rather than
 hostname, if that fails, something is broken in your IP routes. It may be
 caused by VPN usage or other privacy extensions.. but that's outside of my
 expertise..

 Eg by IP: `mtr --report-wide -n -6 2607:f978:5:8002::c68f:a4fb`

 It may also be something that's worth bringing up with the WordPress Core
 team, that the API communications may need to fallback to IPv4 in event of
 the IPv6 communication being broken.. I can't see an existing ticket
 there. Similar to the HTTPS -> HTTP fallback.
