      Hmm, curious. You are seeing this consistently? It's not a temporary loading issue at the server end for example? Though I'd expect to see a lot more reports if that was the case.

      Maybe an MTU issue in the route?

      Can you fetch the file directly?: fetch -6 https://pkg01-atx.netgate.com/pfSense_v2_7_0_amd64-pfSense_v2_7_0/packagesite.txz

        I noticed this 3 days ago. Also did a fresh installation to be sure, but nothing changed.

        Whats the best way to check MTU?

        Fetch doesn´t work:

        [2.7.0-RELEASE][admin@pfsense.localdomain]/root: fetch -6 https://pkg01-atx.netgate.com/pfSense_v2_7_0_amd64-pfSense_v2_7_0/packagesite.txz
        fetch: https://pkg01-atx.netgate.com/pfSense_v2_7_0_amd64-pfSense_v2_7_0/packagesite.txz: Operation timed out

          I ran a pcap for IPv6 traffic on WAN whilst running that fetch and could see the full sized packets.

          You can test using ping6 though. 1444B is the largest I can send here:
          ping6 -s 1444 pkg01-atx.netgate.com

            I just realised that when I ping6 from SSH it uses a diferent IPv6 when I ping6 from GUI.

            The point is I always used the Ping tool from GUI, which used the WAN IP. 2a02:8070: .....
            But with the option -s I have to use SSH, and there the system uses a diferent IP 2a02:3102: ....
            The 2a02:3102: .... doesn´t work with Ping6.
            Why?

            For MTU test used WAN IP and got 1452 max

              Ok, so where is that second IP coming from? Which of those is valid?

              I imagine that fetch test would also work if you specify the bind address to the other one.

                  Those are VIPs on the WAN? How is that interface configured for IPv6?

                    I don´t use VIPs.
                    ISP is Vodafone cable.
                    ISP >> TC4400 modem >> PfSense

                      Hmm, you have a /59 prefix delegation? That's a very unusual prefix size.

                      Do you see all those IPs being passed via dhcpv6? That would also be very odd.

                        After some tests and research it looks like that this is possibly a misconfiguration from my ISP.
                        I´m obviously not the only one with the problem to have different IPs on WAN.
                        But thanks for the help stephen!

                          I agree @Tom8

                          I love pfSense!
