works/don't works (Linux)

The 'global' addresses you are using aren't!  They appear to be (broken)
IPv4-translatable addresses - ie IPv4 addresses encoded in IPv6 format, but
denoting an IPv4-only node.  Not surprisingly, your ping6 implementation
doesn't work because it only handles IPv6 addresses.

I suggest that you use 'real' global addresses from your tunnel provider, or
try IPv4-compatible addresses.

Cheers

Peter
