      @sn3akerz said in Blocking ISP provided IPv6 while still allowing HE IPV6 Tunnel:

      and I see no option in the router to disable such announcements.

      huh - just set IPv6 on your wan interface to NONE..

        @johnpoz I guess I wasn't clear, my apologies. WAN IPv6 Configuration Type is set to NONE.

          @sn3akerz then how would you be getting an IPv6 address.. It wouldn't if its NONE.

            @johnpoz That's what I have been trying to figure out.

            here's the ifconfig output for my WAN interface:

            igb0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
            	description: WAN

            	ether nope
            	inet6 fe80::225:90ff:fef4:a5d2%igb0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1

            Here's for LAN:

                @sn3akerz so you had it setup at one time, is your lan still set to track?

                wait - I don't see any IPv6 on your wan, and that on your lan is from your tunnel.

                this is linklocal addess - yeah your always going to have that

                  To the best of my recollection, I've never had WAN IPv6 set to anything but NONE.
                  LAN IPv6 is set to static IPv6 with the address you see in the output.

                  Here's the output of ipconfig on a windows box that I have access to:

                    @sn3akerz well that isn't pfsense handing that out.. You have some issue with your L2 and that windows box is seeing traffic from your ISP.

                    Do you have a bridge setup in pfsense? From your wan to your lan? How exactly is the network connected together - do you have a common switch your running your wan and lan through?

                      No bridge setup, however the modem is connected to a Cisco 2960 switch (a) on a separate VLAN, trunked to another Cisco 2960 (b) that pfSense's WAN is connected to, which connects LAN to vlan 1 (which I need to fix).
                      This client connects to VLAN 1 on switch a.

                      I've double checked the VLAN configuration on both switches and the ports are configured correctly. I will need to look into the switches IPv6 capabilities and see if they are somehow causing this.

                      Thanks for your help

                        @sn3akerz yeah looks to me like the client is getting that from your isp via being on the L2 network - so that would point to a problem with your isolation on your switches.

                        Run say wireshark on that client and validate what traffic its seeing and where it gets the IP from.. Just don't see how it could be pfsense passing it on, when its not setup for a bridge and that IP range is not setup anywhere on it, etc.

                          I will give that a try, otherwise I'll grab a 50 ft cat6 cable and remove the switches from the modem/WAN entirely and see if I still pull those IPs.

                          I agree, I don't see how it would be pfSense passing the info on, the theory I had was somehow the RA/NDP packets were being allowed / forwarded somehow that I couldn't think of.

                            @sn3akerz Yeah that would be a good way to make sure your isolated.. A bit more intrusive of a test, but valid way for sure.

                            If you sniff on client and actually see broadcast traffic from your wan L2, you will know you got some sort of leak between your vlans. If your isp is anything like mine - my wan is full of arp traffic that I really shouldn't be seeing ;)

                            So that would be smoking gun you have a L2 isolation problem..

                              I am seeing the following in wireshark, so I am going to say you are right and I have a L2 leak.

                              Source                   Destination Protocol   Info
                              fe80:3e9a:77ff:fe21:4727 ff02::1     ICMPv6     Router Advertisement from 3c:9a:77
                              

                              That mac address is for Technicolor which is the modem manufacturer and I verified that is the ip of the modem.

                              Now to figure out how to fix it.

                                @sn3akerz yeah you should for sure not being seeing such traffic on your lan side networks behind your router..

                                Look at it this way you found a problem, that is good to get fixed that is for sure.

                                Currently you directly exposed to the public internet. If it was me I would turn off the ipv6 on those devices until you get them isolated.

                                  Just wanted to share, the issue was the switch port was set to trunk mode instead of access mode. The tool I was using didn't show this, it wasn't until I manually logged into the switch and reviewed the config that I caught the issue.

                                  Thanks again for sending me down the right path.

                                    @sn3akerz glad you got it sorted.. So you weren't crazy heheh..

                                    So far I've been unable to wrap my head around a firewall rule to block this.

                                    Kind of hard to block something at the firewall if its not going over the firewall ;)
