Thanks again for the pointer!
### The prettysocks SOCKS5 proxy (update 2021-11-24)
On 2021-11-23 we have been notified that there is a new workaround
available:
[prettysock](https://github.com/twisteroidambassador/prettysocks/tree/ipv6-literal)
is a Socks5 proxy written in python that allows the use of Microsoft's
**ipv6-literal.net** domain, but from any OS or browser, which is
pointed to the proxy. So to access **fe80::1ff:fe23:4567:890a%3**,
configure your browser to use the local prettysocks Socks5 proxy,
replace the link local address with
**fe80--1ff-fe23-4567-890as3.ipv6-literal.net** and there you go.
There are two interesting things to say about this solution:
* It is a very simple solution
* It is surprising that browser vendors haven't implement such a
simple solution themselves so far - does it need an RFC that defines
the domain to be used?
