    The FDxx... address range is private so it's not going anywhere on the internet no matter how hard you try. FE80 is link local. I don't see in your screenshot any internet routable IPV6 addresses being blocked.
    If you are using Windows computers, open a command prompt (type CMD on the start menu search box) and type "ipconfig /all" to see what IP addresses your computer is getting. You should have multiple IPV6 addresses, not just the link local and the private FD.

    You would have had to setup how IPV6 addressing is accomplished via router advertisements under SERVICES/DHCP6 SERVER AND RA. Choose ROUTER ADVERTISEMENTS and set the ROUTER MODE to either UNMANAGED or SLAAC. I set mine to SLAAC and input my two DNS servers in the DHCP6SERVER section, so that my devices get my DNS server addresses while also setting their own IPV6 addresses automatically without using DHCP6. UNMANAGED should work if you don't have DNS server addresses you wish to push to the clients. But in the end, your clients need to have Internet routable IPs, not just ULA (unique local FC/FD) addresses.

    @maanbsat First thing to try is to turn on DHCP6 Debug and then look in the logs.

    Solved. I had to reboot the pfSense after enabling IPv6 track interface on LAN2.

    @jknott said in Just flipped from Spectrum to FiOS in NYC and have IPv6 out of the box FINALLY:

    While they provide a global WAN IP, it's not used for routing.

    Same here. That is why I think using one part of the prefix for WAN wouldn't be a technical problem, just waste of one /64.

    @jknott Because GUA with a dynamic prefix is problematic, especially for hosts that don't get notified that the prefix has changed. So for now, only pfSense has to know for its WAN interface. That does work better, as long as pfSense is the first router.

    @lolo54000 said in Ipv6 configured but unable to ping internet:

    In my ovh account i have 6 physical server and each have it's own ipv4 and it's own ipv6 /64 ipv6

    To have a router in front, you would need:

    an IPv6 for the router WAN an IPv4 for the router WAN OVH to route your other IP addresses to those IPs your servers to use your router LAN IPv4/IPv6 as their gateway

    It sounds like they are simply not set up to handle a router, like you're asking for.

    @casperghst42-real-one working here on a 2.6

    workshere.jpg

    You can't just leave ::1000 and :2000

    You have to set the full range.. Those are just place holders..

    That range is quite large 2a06:4004:1234:1:: to 2a06:4004:1234:1:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff

    Maybe you want to hand out

    2a06:4004:1234:1:42::1000 to 2a06:4004:1234:1:42:2000

    so those ::1000 to ::2000 are just place holders for the actual IPs that could be handed out in your selected range. So you have to be specific on your actual range you want to use.

    @cyth

    The gateway is part of the basic RA. The DNS server is an optional part of it and NTP server would require stateless DHCPv6. If needed, you could still rely on IPv4 for those too. However, using DHCPv6 for device addresses will fail for Android devices. Unmanaged is fine, unless you need stateless DHCPv6. The prefix for the alias is the first 56 bits of the addresses (assuming /56).

    Like @nogbadthebad

    I've :

    ee3c2974-942b-413f-86ef-40816c315c2d-image.png

    and added all the devices that I wanted to give a DHCP static IPv6 lease, like @NogBadTheBad

    Apple devices play very well with this. Zero issues for the last ... decade or so ?!
    ( I never had to use an Android based device in my life )
    Even if the DUID are not added to the DHCPv6 static mappings list, it works well, an Ipv6 from the pool is used.

    @mikev7896

    Thanks. The setting you recommend was set. I don't recall setting it. Maybe in CE 2.6.0 it's a default?

    More things to learn...RDNSS, etc. Sigh.

    I went for the nuclear option and rebooted pfSense and it's working fine now.

    @ddbnj I'm on FIOS too (NYC) and spent just about the entire week messing around with and learning the ins and outs of Verizon's implementation. There are definitely some sharp edges but I'm pretty happy now with the way things are working.

    You might want to check out my helper script to assign a routable IP (GUA) to your WAN from one of the delegated prefix subnets. Link below
