      Hi,

      where can I find the sources for pfSense_get_interface_addresses(); ?

      Reason: I suspect it to return deprecated ipv6 addresses over valid ones.
      This breaks Dynamic DNS updates, because it always updates the revoked address if a new prefix is announced.

      If a prefix's lifetime is revoked, old addresses don't get dropped immediately but marked as deprecated by the kernel, then dropped after a while (hours).
      I'd like to see if pfSense_get_interface_addresses(); takes this into account. (I guess not)

          Oh well, thanks.
          Looks like it doesn't care about the deprecated flag.

          I'll think about it and maybe file a bug then.

          Tanks so far!

            Bump, issue persists. This seems to disrupt ipv6 connectivity on prefix rotation by upstream entirely.
            The new prefix does not propagate further then a new slaac address on the wan interface itself. All tracked interfaces don't update, ra keeps announcing deprecated prefixes, "LAN" looses internet connectivity.
