      Hello,

      I'm having a hard time understanding the difference between all the options available to configure RA in pfsense…

      RA is available on two interface, LAN and WAN_IPv6 (an ipv6 tunnel broker interface). Should I enable it on both or just on LAN?
      My actual DHCPv6 server is on a windows server 2012 machine on my LAN.

      So which option should I choose and why? Router, unmanaged, managed, assisted?

      Thank you!

        It's my understanding the broadcast are gone in IPv6 so you need to specify your router (Ra) in ipv6 in the absence of a dhcp server. That way devices will know their gateway. I wouldn't advertise my router on the wan and but could be missing something.
