      pFsense itself can't connect to anything over IPv6 either. I can't use IPv6 ping, not even get into the Update page cuz Netgate has IPv6 addresses for their website.

        That screams for a big problem, might be your ISP at this point.

          I'll test it with their default router and keep here updated. Thank everyone for the help.

              I saw in your settings that you request a prefix only, not a WAN address. You might have to specify your LAN interface as the source address. You use the -s option for that.

              I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...

                How do I do that?

                Also I didn't do such a thing after we got my IPv6 in this thread

                  about 2 hours ago

                  I don't know, I still don't think it's a prefix problem because I used it as it is for a long time

                  In an earlier post I suggested you capture the DHCP6 sequence to see what prefix you're assigned, to see if it's what's actually being used. Have you tried that?

                  In the capture you'll see 4 packets:

                  1173e38f-fdff-42d1-8e52-c99545293ff1-image.png

                  Then, in the last packet, should be something like this:

                  2b23ee5b-92e5-46c6-8bc4-d7c7e82c6bf6-image.png

                  Compare the prefix with the one your network is using.

                    Package Capture stops when I plug the WAN cable. I'm doing it according to this: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/172514/capture-full-dhcp-or-dhcpv6-sequence

                    Update:
                    It doesn't work with the default router my ISP gave either. Prefix and IPs everything seems fine but nope, it still doesn't connect. I also checked Windows ipconfig while on it and it just showed single IP for each, prefix matched as well.

                      I just tried and it works fine here.

                      Do you have a switch that you can use to make a "data tap"?

                        @JKnott I'll try it again later today.

                        Unfortunately no, I don't have a managed switch.
