        @tchello FWIW your block rules will not trigger because they are below the allow-to-any rules. Note they are all "0/0 B".

        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.

          Yes, I agree, but I not use this rules, and I forgetd it of erase. My fault

          I think it's my provider's problem, my friend. What do you think?

            @tchello why do you have a /56 mask on your wan? That is not how delegation works.. Did your isp tell you to but a /56 on the wan interface.. Which overlaps with your lan interface?

            a /56 is not a mask you would put on a actual interface, that is a route prefix or delegation prefix not an interface prefix.

              @tchello said in only ICMP protocol works !!!:

              My WAN Static: 2001:XXXX:XXXX:9f00::2/56 - Pfsense

              If they provide a WAN address, it normally has a /128 prefix length. You would also have a /64 on a link local address. You'd use the /56 to request the prefix size, if that's what the ISP provides.

                Thank you John

                They gave it to me like this:

                The block was configured and the ping is ok. Please validate with the client by providing them with the configured IPs as below.

                ipv6 from 2001:xxxx:xxxx:9F00::2/56
                IPv6 gateway 2001:xxxx:xxxx:9F00::1
                ipv6 dns server 2804:7F4:2002:1005::98
                ipv6 dns server 2804:7F4:2002:1005::99”

                So am I wrong in the configuration?

                Sorry, I'm not experienced in setting IPv6 statically.

                    This is what the provider gave me

                    The following is the return:
                    “The block has been configured and the ping is ok. Please validate with the client by providing them with the configured IPs as below.

                    ipv6 from 2001:xxxx:xxxx:9F00::2/56
                    IPv6 gateway 2001:xxxx:xxxx:9F00::1
                    ipv6 dns server 2804:7F4:2002:1005::98
                    ipv6 dns server 2804:7F4:2002:1005::99”

                      @tchello yeah that is not right at all.. That is fine if they gave you a /56 that they route to you.. But there would be transit network.. You might sometimes see the first prefix out of the /56 as the transit.

                      Try setting that first prefix as /64 and then use the next prefix of /64 on your lan.

                      So your lan side interface would be 2001:xxxx:xxxx:9f01::1/64

                      That info is pretty bad.. Which is typical of ISP that really have no business doing IPv6 because they have no real clue how to do it ;)

                      edit:
                      You asked for a /56 I take it and that is the info you got. Which would work if all your devices were directly connected, but still wrong because you wouldn't use a /56 in that scenario. But some level 1 guy plugged the ticket into some ip allocation form and that is what it spit out..

                          @tchello not saying that will work.. But I have seen this method used before.. Its not really a good way to do it, but maybe it will work for you.. Good luck, let us know.

                              @johnpoz Good day
                              I did this setup
                              WAN: 2001:XXXX:XXXX:9F00::2 /64
                              LAN : 2001:XXXX:XXXX:9F01:f0ca:4 /64

                              ping OK!
                              any protocol outside this -> failed

                              If this setup is what you told me, then the fault is with the provider. I'm trying to contact them.

                              Thanks a lot brow

                                @tchello yeah like I said it could work that way.. But then again not sure what they are thinking with just giving you that info.. It is not how you would allow a user to use a /56 behind a router. Their info would be for if that /56 was directly attached, and not behind a router. Which you would never do - because its pointless to be honest.. If your only going to directly attach to the isp, a /64 is more than you would ever need.. And you using a /56 over a /64 gets you nothing. It defeats the whole point of /56 that you could break up into multiple /64s

                                To be honest since your isp seems clueless, would be just a use a tunnel from HE - they will give you a /48 that never changes, and even allow you to create PTRs for the space - something I highly doubt your isp would allow you to do.

                                Are they charging you for this /56?

                                  I'm client for them, have a LP dedicated a far long time. Then now I need it Ipv6 for many cameras that I cant access because the provider only give me cgnat ip . Then I asked about ipv6 to him. Give me without charge.

                                    @tchello What I can tell you is the info they gave you will not work.. They have given you a /56 that is directly attached to them - not routed to you that you can use on prefixes behind a router.

                                    And directly attaching a /56 is borked.. They need to route the /56 to you - so that you can then break up that /56s to use on your networks behind pfsense.

                                    There needs to be a transit network to route to you - be it a /64 or a /128 or even just link-local.. But you can not put a /56 on an interface and expect it to work.

                                      Dear John As I suspected, the error was with the provider, after my request they solved the IPv6 problem. I am very grateful to you for your support.
