      Yes, that should also have been lagg0. Since I don't have anything here that's lagg capable I'd need to search. What's odd though is that the default route path for v4 and v6 is exactly the same.

      I can only guess that the parent interface in another piece of code is used causing it to fail. Hmmm. Can you send me a sanitized config.xml to my email address seth.mos@dds.nl

      That's probably the only way to find out. You can safely strip the aliases and rules. I won't need a password as I'll just reset that. How many interfaces is this box?

          @databeestje, small bug found in the Easy Rule feature in the firewall logs. When I click to create an Easy Rule from a denied firewall rule regarding IPv6 traffic, it gets added as an IPv4 rule.

            I've noticed that, I'm currently stuck at work with a Cisco 1841 though that needs to do 4 wire shdsl that isn't cooperating.

            I've added some code, no idea if it works, have not tested, coded blind.

              Thanks! I'll give it a try in about an hour and let you know if it works. Downloading some stuff now, so can't use the reboot at the moment ;)

                Hi,

                And thanks for the work being done on IPv6! I upgraded to RC1 yesterday and got a HE-tunnel up and running pretty soon after.

                One thing I noticed: After upgrading to RC1 and the doing the gitsync the version under system information went back to BETA-5. I guess that's just a cosmetic fix, but I wanted to point it out.

                Thanks again for all the effort being put in to this.

                Regards
                skorge

                  Not that it matter much, other show stoppers prevented a RC release. So the tree is back to BETA5 anyways

                    I can confirm it to be fixed! Good job!

                      When creating firewall rule, would it be possible to add option "Both" to TCP/IP Version - so that firewall rule would apply to both IPv4 and IPv6?

                        Another little bug for the todo-list:

                        • When running the dhcpv6d server without specifying an ipv6 DNS option, the dhcpv6d will fail to start if you have not have specified an ipv6 DNS server for the PFsense box itself (System: General Setup).

                          That makes no sense, the pf firewall rule can only apply to v4 or v6 traffic, not both. Are you referring here to aliases perhaps?

                            Strange, dnsmasq listens on a v6 socket anyhow, so you could use the pfSense IPv6 address as the dns option.
                            I'd need to replicate this.

                                An additional bug is that if you specify a DNS server in the DHCPv6 config, the setting is saved correctly, but it does not showup when you refresh the settingspage.

                                  Just followed my own howto but could not replicate the missing default route issue.

                                  I followed the same steps outlined and ended up with 2 default routes, one for v4 and one for v6. Both survive a reboot.

                                  I'll add code that prevents entering a v4 address there.

                                    Hi, I've been lurking for a while but I've been on 2.0 for a few months now and trying out the IPv6 with he.net tunnelbroker.

                                    I can't seem to get DHCPv6 to work.  In the logs it says "send_packet no route to host." I believe this is when it sends the advertise. With a manually assigned IP it works fine. I don't know if this was covered before so my apologies in advance if this was covered already.

                                      My LAN is bridged and I suspect that may be the problem since it has no link local address.

                                        @|DSI|:

                                        When creating firewall rule, would it be possible to add option "Both" to TCP/IP Version - so that firewall rule would apply to both IPv4 and IPv6?

                                        That makes no sense, the pf firewall rule can only apply to v4 or v6 traffic, not both. Are you referring here to aliases perhaps?

                                        I know that it can only apply to v4 of v6. Both would "invisibly" create separate rule for IPv4 and IPv6 but user would see only one - having this option would reduce needed firewall rules.
                                        Example:
                                        I would like to allow outbound traffic on port 80 for both IPv4 and IPv6. Now i have to create Allow rule for IPv4 traffic on port 80, and separate rule for IPv6 traffic on port 80.
                                        Or another example - Allow inbound traffic to webserver on LAN side:
                                        Firstly you create alias where you list both IPv4 and IPv6 IP address of some host. Then on WAN interface you create firewall rule that allows inbound traffic on port 80, as destination IP you specify previously created alias.

                                          Is the problem with the outlining in the firewall log widget in combination with IPv6 on the buglist already? Check the attached screenshot.
