@bob-dig Yes, that's one of the websites I'm using to test.

@clubbing2050 I have two Pixels working fine (test-ipv6.com verified) using Verizon Fios with these settings: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/155534/verizon-fios-and-ipv6-which-settings-work/2

IPv6 Configuration Type - DHCP6
Android doesn't support DHCPv6:

@steveits Correct. I'm not using DHCPv6 on the LAN.

I figured it out. Maybe this will help someone from banging their head against a brick wall in the future. IPv6 worked on my Pixel on my Guest network where my SSID was broadcast. On my private network, the SSID was hidden. IPv6 didn't work on the Pixel.
I unhid my private SSID, and now IPv6 works fine on the Pixel. I don't know if this is a feature or a bug, but either way I don't believe it's related to pfsense. I think it's related to the Pixel itself.

Does anyone else have IPv6 working correctly on a Google Pixel?
Works fine here with my Pixel 6.

@jknott Same. Figured out the Pixel doesn't like IPv6 on hidden SSID'S. Broadcasted the SSID and all is well now.

Hiding the SSID provides a false sense of security.

@jknott I know
