There are many other org and ISP issues that could block Cygwin access, like 
A/V, End Point Protection, GPO, firewall, but that may also mean that they do 
not support compatible transitional services and interconnection designed to 
make the difference transparent, possibly except to allowed domains or hosts, 
similarly to depending on insecurity-featuring-obscurity.

The whole IP v4 internet is available as a compatibility subnet ::ffff:0:a.b.c.d 
on IP v6, so there is no excuse for not supporting interconnection, as it will 
be required until the last backbone routers drop IP v4 support.

If the OP's org or ISP do not support interconnections to IP v4 hosts, they may 
not have the competence or knowledge to configure and run the appropriate stacks 
and services to support transitional 6over/to4-4over/to6 interconnections, as 
most other hosts and routers on the Internet still do, or it may be policy.
