      I think around late November to make it work I had to gitsync to master. I suppose the latest snapshots are built from master. Am I correct or do I still need to gitsync?
      I really enjoyed having working 6rd and IPV6 connectivity and I would love to have it working again.

      On interface status, WAN gets:

      IPv6 address	2602:47:3004:c800::	 
      Subnet mask IPv6	24
      Gateway IPv6	2602:cdab:240::
      

      LAN set to track wan gets:

      IPv6 address	2602:47:3004:c800::1	 
      Subnet mask IPv6	64
      
      

      IPV6 Routing table:

      ::1	link#11	UH	0	16384	lo0
      2602::/24	link#13	U	0	1280	wan_stf

      Is it missing a default gateway?

      Please be patient with me as I am learning IPV6 and I may be doing something wrong. With the exception of the routing tabe which I have no way to compare to the previous working setup, interfaces seem to get the same addresses as the previous working setup as my dynamic IPV4 has not changed since (It is dynamic but the same ipv4 address tends to stick for months at the time). Your IPV6 on 6rd is calculated based to your IPV4 right?

      Also how do you check if wan_stf is passing traffic?

        It still works, no need to gitsync. Make sure your 6rd gateway is marked as default for v6 under System>Routing.

          WAN_6RD gateway already marked as default in system->routing, however I do not see any gateway marked as default in the routing table. Still I have still no traffic routed after a fresh reinstall. I used centurylink/quest 6RD with 2602::/24 prefix, 205.171.2.64 border relay and 0 prefix length as per centurylink docs (this worked previously). LAN is set to track wan. Clients on the network get IPV6 addresses in the 2602:47:3004:c800:: range, can ping6 LAN ipv6 address, can't ping anything past pfsense an address. WAN_6RD shows offline (setup to ping google ipv6 dns). From pfsense shell can ping a plan client, cannot ping google dns -> no route to host.  Do you see anything abnormal in my routing table? I did not add or remove any routes. Have 2 pfsense boxes with carp both with same problem.

            As additional info, I do not see a ::0 route or a default gateway in the routing table.

            Looking at the logs I found this:

            php-fpm[71649]: /system_gateways.php: The command '/sbin/route change -inet6 default '2602:cdab:240::'' returned exit code '1', the output was 'route: writing to routing socket: No such process route: writing to routing socket: Network is unreachable change net default: gateway 2602:cdab:240:: fib 0: Network is unreachable'
            

            So my box is unable to add a default route for IPV6.

            I double checked my 6RD configuration and it appears correct for Centurylink/quest which is my isp

            Any suggestion or any further test I can do?

              Can you provide an ifconfig output?
              Also your config.xml for this WAN configuration?

                    This seems ok.
                    Probably something else wrong in your config.

                      Ermal, could you try to point me toward the right direction?
                      This was a fresh install to a watchguard firebox x-750-e.
                      I see this in the System log if I save and apply changes on Wan interface:

                      Is that the route creation fails because wan_stf is not passing ipv6 traffic?

                      How can I troubleshoot wan_stf?

                      Thanks for looking at this

                        Yes that is the issue.
                        Which version of pfSense is this ?

                          2.2 RC Dec 17 snapshot.
                          Retried fresh install, removed carp, just in case it was messing up things, turned off backup pfsense box. running plain vanilla box now. wanstf still not passing traffic. all the config seems ok to me so I dont understand. The centurylink 6rd gateway does not respond to ping by their choice so there is no way to see if it is alive but I would be surprised if it is not (google search would have turned up at least some complaints and it has not).I then updated firmware of the dsl bridge just in case but still no go. The dsl modem is a bridge working below level 3 so it shouldn't matter anyway.

                          Next step I guess it would be to set up a freebsd or linux vm with 2 interfaces and try to setup a link from the command line. Any suggestion before I do that?

                            OK new hardware, same problem.
                            I updated my firewall from a firebox x-core to a supermicro A1SRi-2758F (very very nice setup for pfsense). Now running AMD64 version full install.
                            I also upgraded my dsl to a bonded ADSL and centurylink gave me a new ADSL actiontec modem. Before bridging the modem I tested 6rd with the parameters I am using for pfsense and worked flawlessly.
                            I tried again with the pfsense new install after bridging the dsl modem and it is a no go. Same sets of errors I had with the firebox and nanobsd setup.
                            Is anybody else on centurylink having a problem or is it just me?

                            As always, any help is appreciated.

                              Hi jjstecchino

                              I just tried to setup 6rd with centurylink on a spare DSL connection and ran into the the same problem you have.  This was 2.2-RELEASE on embedded.

                              Just wanted to confirm its not just you.

                              If anyone has any suggestions, I'm willing to test as this is a mostly unused circuit.

                                That usually comes out since there is not subnet to match it with even though that subnet should be on the stf interface.

                                Can you please try to see why that route fails.

                                  FYI since the Dec 31st build, IPv6 6rd has been working great! Updated a week ago to a newer build and it still works.

                                    For me its not entirely clear how this should work, however when playing around I managed to get IPv6 packets flowing by means of a copy and paste error.

                                    For starters, Centurylink says 2602::/24 with CE mask length of 0 for 6rd.

                                    As previously mentioned, the problem seems to be with setting the default gateway.  Here's how things look after a reboot.  LAN interface IPv6 is set to Track WAN with the Prefix ID set to ff <–- this seems to matter.

                                    The error reported on boot points to an attempt to add 2602:cdab:240:: as the default route.  When I attempt to run this manually, I get the same error:

                                    [2.2-RELEASE][admin@gw-evergreen-dsl0.internal.avioc.org]/root: /sbin/route change -inet6 default '2602:cdab:240::'

                                    Ok, that seems to be a correct error I think, that GW seems to fall outside the 2602::/24 subnet, I'm not sure how the GW is calculated or provided in 6rd.

                                    Now, When playing with adding the route, on accident I set the default GW to be the IPv6 address on the wan_stf interface:

                                    And much to my surprise, IPv6 packets are now flowing…

                                    I guess if nothing else this proves that the underlying IPv6/6RD is working, just need to figure out how to get the default route/gw set correctly.

                                      For the case of Centurylink, it appears the default gateway is not correct.  pfSense is trying to set it to 2602:cdab:240:: but it should be 2602💿ab02:4000:: based on this blog post: http://blog.switchedbits.net/2014/05/ipv6-6rd-tunnel-with-centurylink/

                                      As seen below, the route change works with this new value:

                                      route: writing to routing socket: Network is unreachable
                                      route: writing to routing socket: Network is unreachable
                                      change net default: gateway 2602:cdab:240:: fib 0: Network is unreachable
                                      [2.2-RELEASE][admin@gw-evergreen-dsl0.internal.avioc.org]/root: /sbin/route change -inet6 default 2602:cd:ab02:4000::
                                      change net default: gateway 2602:cd:ab02:4000::
                                      [2.2-RELEASE][admin@gw-evergreen-dsl0.internal.avioc.org]/root:
                                      
                                      

                                      And IPv6 works.  So it seems the default route is being incorrectly computed?

                                      Hope this helps.

                                        If you put you subnet as 2602:00:/24 does it work?

                                            Hi ermal,

                                            Thanks for looking into this.

                                            Trying to set it to 2602:00:/24 didn't work, it resulted in a GW of 2602:00:cdab:240:: before applying the patch.

                                            I hand applied the patch and set it back to 2602::/24 and it resulted in the following gateway:  2602💿aba0:: and it is working and passing traffic for me.  Without this patch, the default gateway would not be set.

                                            Internet6:
                                            Destination                       Gateway                       Flags      Netif Expire
                                            default                           2602:cd:aba0::                UGS     wan_stf
                                            
                                            

                                            This contradicts the GW from the above blog post of 2602💿ab02:4000:: … so I'm not sure which is right, or if both are, but it is passing traffic.
