        I also notice I have a WAN V6 address of fe80::20c:29ff:fe65:5f35%em1

          My WAN v6 address is fe80::225:90ff:fe91:d2e6%em0, which seems more or less correct. This "track interface" thing on the LAN interface should Just Work™, but instead it's driving me mental. It gives me an option for inputting a hexadecimal prefix ID between 0 and ff, but I have no idea what it should be set to. Maybe I need to go down the static configuration route after all.

              What address are you getting for your IPv6 gateway? I'm seeing fe80::224:14ff:fe9a:9700, which seems a bit suspect.

                  dhcp6c[52181]: client6_recvadvert: XID mismatch

                  Now this on restart.

                  Honestly I am lost now, it was working.

                    Same boat. Had it working yesterday, but no go today. Maybe it's on Node's end? Although I can't see any advisories which would suggest that. I might give support a call tomorrow.

                      These are link-local addresses -> definitely NOT correct.

                        Looking over my logs, I have a feeling something's gone wrong on the nodes end.

                        It was not link local in the past.

                          I haven't called support yet, but in the meantime I thought I'd try disabling IPv6 in the Node CP, and will enable it again later tonight… might kick something on their end into working differently.

                              Tried setting it all up again today… still doesn't work 100%. I can use Diagnostics > Ping to google.com using IPv6, and get replies... but nothing on the LAN side can access remote IPv6 addresses.

                              Toje, are you seeing entries like these in your System Log?

                              php: rc.filter_configure_sync: The command '/sbin/route change -inet6 default fe80::224:14ff:fe9a:9810' returned exit code '1', the output was 'route: writing to routing socket: Network is unreachable route: writing to routing socket: Network is unreachable change net default: gateway fe80::224:14ff:fe9a:9810: Network is unreachable'

                              Similar to another thread here.

                              Edit: Seems to be working now, for some reason.  ???  ;D

                              The settings I'm using:

                              WAN:

                              • IPv6 Configuration Type: DHCP6

                              • Use IPv4 connectivity as parent interface: Ticked

                              • Request only a IPv6 prefix: Ticked

                              • DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation size: 64

                              • Send IPv6 prefix hint: Ticked

                              LAN:

                              • IPv6 Configuration Type: Static IPv6

                              • IPv6 address: 2001:44b8:xxx:yyyy:: (/64)

                              DHCP:

                              • Enable DHCPv6 server on LAN interface: Un-ticked

                              • Router Advertisements: Assisted (though I think it should be Unmanaged.. but I'll just leave it as is for the minute  ;))

                              … and a few WAN and LAN firewall rules.

                              Edit 2: ugh, borked again, without any changes made.

                                DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation size: None

                                That seems a bit odd; the first option says you only want a delegated prefix, but the second option says you don't want a prefix. Why do you think you want the first one, anyway?

                                  • IPv6 Configuration Type: Static IPv6

                                  That, too, seems odd: You're requesting prefix delegation, but then you're not actually using the prefix information obtained via DHCP-PD but instead configure your prefix statically. Also, I thought the delegated prefix was supposed to be a /56, not a /64?!

                                    Not too sure what you're saying… any chance you could elaborate?

                                    Your delegated static /56 IPv6 prefix for your LAN is: 2001:44b8:xxx:yyyy

                                    • Your existing IPv4 address (if static) and any existing framed route(s)
                                    • A dynamic /64 IPv6 prefix for your PPP session
                                    • A static /56 IPv6 prefix for your LAN (if you are using a router with Prefix Delegation)

                                    That's what's shown in the Node control panel. My interpretation of that is 64 is used on the WAN's "DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation size" drop-down, and 56 is used for the LAN's "IPv6 address" (although Logs > System > Routing then has entries saying "radvd[79545]: prefix length should be 64 for em0", so I just set it to 64 there as well).

                                    Edit: em0 is the LAN interface.

                                      I have the same Setup Rezin,

                                      Razzfazz I set it up with the idea my WAN is the Internode side of the network and my LAN is my side, so like on a normal lan-lan router there are two different IP's

                                        The "dynamic /64 IPv6 prefix for your PPP session" is what you get on your WAN side; this has nothing to do with prefix delegation. The "delegated prefix size" field determines (as the name implies) the size of the prefix that your provider is delegating to you (in this case, /56); parts of that delegated prefix (e.g., one of the 256 /64 prefixes that your delegated /56 prefix spans) is what you'd use on your LAN-side interfaces.

                                        From the quoted blurb, it is not clear to me that your provider actually requires the use of DHCP6-PD (–> prefix delegation via DHCP6) at all; given that your prefix is in fact statically assigned, you may be able to get away with just configuring your LAN side as "static IPv6" with an address from the prefix and without requesting delegation through the WAN interface.

                                          Right; on the WAN side, you have an address from a dynamically assigned /64 prefix, whereas any LAN-side interfaces would get addresses from (different sub-prefixes of) the delegated /56; pfSense will then route between them, with a default route out the WAN interface, while your provider will just route your delegated prefix to your WAN address.
