      I honestly thought I knew IPv6 enough but I was wrong.

      I have a guest network setup with the following rules:Screenshot 2024-06-02 203411.png

      PFsensePorts are the GUI ports and 22 for SSh
      DNS_ports are 53 and 853
      RCF1918 contains private IPv4 ranges and fd00::/8

      When checking states, my guest user can access the GUI via 2600:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx

      I don't have a fixed IPv6 prefix, although I don't know when it changed last so I don't have any GUA specific rules. My concern is that if the address supplied by my ISP changes, the rules would no longer work and I wouldn't be aware.

      How can I block traffic from accessing the pfsense GUI via a dynamically assigned GUA?

      Thanks,

      Devan

        @ddbnj pfSense has a This Firewall alias which should cover all IPs on it.

        Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

            @SteveITS Thats a very valuable tidbit of info. Do you know where I can find a list of similar aliases?

              @ddbnj It's probably in the docs somewhere. That one shows when adding a rule. There's an alias for each pfSense network/subnet plus This Firewall.
