Except that if you read the man page for nmap you find....

Filtered means that a firewall, filter, or other network obstacle is
covering the port and preventing nmap from determining whether the port is open.

And

[egreshko@misty ~]$ telnet 86.43.71.228 993
Trying 86.43.71.228...

Times out....

First Law of Bicycling:
	No matter which way you ride, it's uphill and against the wind.

I had a problem with my app/web server listening on "::::80" awhile back.  I'd try to connect (telnet, browser, etc.) and it'd just sit there.  I switched to listen on "0.0.0.0:80" and it all worked like a charm.  I'm terribly ignorant on IPv6 so I can't speak to what the root problem was, but the work-around did the trick.
