      I have ipv6 enabled

      System: Advanced: Networking Allow IPv6 selected.
      

      And a firewall rule

      IPv6 *	LAN net	*	*	*	*	none
      

      So I do not know why it is getting blocked.

        Order of rules matters.

        Very difficult to try and help when you post a single rule.  Is it the first user rule or the last?  Is it below a specific block ipv6 rule that is getting triggered?

        If you can ssh to the box, the output of "pfctl -sr" shows exactly the rules that are enabled and their order of evaluation.

        Or take screenshots of the various pages of firewall rules and post them.

          I disabled all rules in Firewall: Rules except the defaults

          IPv4 *	LAN net	*	*	*	*	none	 	Default allow LAN to any rule
          IPv6 *	LAN net	*	*	*	*	none	 	Default allow LAN IPv6 to any rule 
          

          still get the blocked traffic

            Then something is still blocking them.  Do you have any  other packages running, something like Snort? 
            If you can, the output of pfctl -sr would really really help trying to figure it out.  Why?  You say you have all other rules disabled, but the output of the command will help ensure that they are.  What if you have hit a bug in the interface that prevented the rules from being loaded?  We have no way of knowing that.

            Simple things like this help verify the exact state of the pfSense box.

            Or we can sit here and guess all day long.

              There's this red X to show what rule blocked what…

                I have squid3 with squidGuard non transparent proxy wpad.

                I should try disabling the proxy to see if that is causing it.

                  "blocked by default deny rule ipv6"
                  That's your big clue right there.  Default deny means the traffic is not matching any pass rules.

                  see what happens when you disable the proxy.

                    ^^^ That.

                    Plus, you know, you'd get a relevant advise if you posted a screenshot of the entire ruleset instead of posting what you think you have configured in ASCII art… :-(

                      Ok, see attachments, I have disabled all rules but the default.

                      I have also tried disabling the proxy, with the same errors.

                      Any other information you need?

                        After making the rule changes to include the pass any to any did you flush/reset states?  I think it's up under Diags.  You need to do this typically if you are trying to block traffic that already has pass states.

                        Just to double check, the couple of firewall rules you show, they are on the LAN interface, not WAN?  Hard to tell since we can't see the whole window.  Goes to dok saying "…screenshot of the entire ruleset..".

                        I'd love to help more, but I don't pull teeth for a living.

                          How would you expect a link local address to talk to a teredo address anyway teredo ipv6 would be 2001::/32?  You have listed lan net in your allow rule.  Is link local address listed in your lan net?  Looks like to me you have a borked ipv6 setup if your seeing link-local trying to talk to teredo?.  fe80 is only valid on the local segment.

                          From that address I get this
                          Teredo server's IPv4  94.245.121.253
                          Public IPv4 201.7.55.118

                          2nd one IPv4 is 68.149.111.125 same server which is owned by MS.. So have to assume one of their teredo servers.

                          Here is what I would suggest, if your not going to setup ipv6 correctly.. Then just disable it on your machines.. Can be disabled, ie removes the teredo, isatap and 6to4 windows thinks everyone should have enabled out of the box..  with a simple reg key.

                          reg add hklm\system\currentcontrolset\services\tcpip6\parameters /v DisabledComponents /t REG_DWORD /d 255

                          You have maybe a p2p client running and its trying to talk to ipv6 address that are in the swarm the best it can?

                          As to this eca:e4ea::1 I have no idea what that address is..  That looks to be reserved space to me.. Where that would come from have no idea.

                            I did not know about this option, found it under Diagnostics: state: Reset state, have reset now.

                            Just to double check, the couple of firewall rules you show, they are on the LAN interface, not WAN?  Hard to tell since we can't see the whole window.  Goes to dok saying "…screenshot of the entire ruleset.."

                            Yes it is the LAN interface,

                            I'd love to help more, but I don't pull teeth for a living.

                            No need to pull teeth, will try to be more thorough.

                            It looks like that changing the default from LAN net to *  and flush/reset states has fix that issue, I am no longer getting ipv6 errors.

                            Firewall: Rules : LAN

                            
                            IPv4 *	*	*	*	*	*	none	 	Default allow LAN to any rule 
                            IPv6 *	*	*	*	*	*	none	 	Default allow LAN IPv6 to any rule 
                            
                            

                            On a another issue I am getting blocked lan traffic going to the squid proxy see attachments.

                            Errors

                            @6(1000000104) Blocked drop out log inet all label "default deny rule IPv4"
                            

                            Not sure why that traffic is getting blocked?

                              So vs stopping the traffic that wouldn't work anyway and you don't even know what it was?  Your solution is to just allow it?  And not log it..

                              Your new issue is just out of state traffic.. This happens in a stateful firewall..

                                  Yes your lan pc was sending out stuff that would never work to some teredo address from its link local address..  So you want this traffic?  Do you know what that traffic was?  Disable ipv6 on your machine if you don't understand ipv6.
