ipv6 noob
-
so just for testing purposes, I bypassed the isp's router. I have an ipv6 address in ipconfig and on interfaces but test-ipv6.com shows no ipv6 address. traceroute6 also works. I am running squid and pfblocker-devel if it matters.
-
My rule of thumb is to start simple. Get it working first, then add the other stuff. That way, you know what's causing problems.
-
so I have 10/10 on test-ipv6.com but every time I reboot my pc or add a new device, I have to restart dhcp6 server and ra on pfsense, otherwise I get 0/10 but I do have a ipv6 address on my pc. any advice is welcome.
-
Why are you running dhcp6 on the LAN? You shouldn't use it, unless you have a need. Also, Android devices won't work with it. All you need is SLAAC.
-
Maybe I was not clear. I am in assisted mode so I have both dhcp6 and slaac
-
Once again, why? Unless you have a specific need for dhcp6, don't use it. SLAAC works fine. What is it you expect it to provide that SLAAC doesn't?
This goes back to my keep it simple rule. -
because it works this way and I am an ipv6 noob and am afraid to change settings.
-
so I switched to stateless and test-ipv6.com showed 10/10. Then I rebooted my win11 machine and now it shows 0/10. any advice is welcome. thanks.
-
Do you have other devices? Are they OK?
-
I realized the problem was my bridge so I am in the middle of a complete redesign of my network. Will post back when I know more. Hopefully the family wont object too much to the down time.
