      Hi everyone.  It seems that I'm having a similar problem to the one mentioned in this thread:  https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=102262.msg577069#msg577069

      My IPv6 connectivity from my LAN will occasionally stop working when trying to reach anything beyond the firewall to the internet.  Pinging the FW's LAN interface works fine however.  From within the FW, I can ping both external sites and all of my LAN via IPv6 without any issue.

      Is there any kind of troubleshooting or commands I can run that can help figure out why this is happening?  Rebooting the firewall always resolves the problem but it's a temporary fix and it can last either days or weeks until the same problem returns.

      Let me know if you need more details about my setup.

        Could you try to sniff the Router Advertisements and look if they look ok? I happened to have some problems with OpenWrt of sending router lifetimes of 0, which signalize your end device to give up the default route. Without such route it won't work.

        Might be a shot, but could as well be something else. Take a look into Neighbor Discovery and router advertisement messages.

          Did some packet captures and the ND packets seemed to look ok to me.  I don't think that it has to do with not knowing the default gateway as the PCs all know to go to the pfsense to get to their destinations based on the traceroutes to external sites all stopping at the FW.  This time the FW lasted 6 days and 17 hours before having to be rebooted to fix IPv6 connectivity.

            So when your connectivity gets broken you need to reboot your machine in order to get it running again?

            Do you see any drops in the firewalls filter log.
            What kind of ICMPv6 messages does your firewall return to non working client computer?
            Can you provoke such behavior? That would be delightful for error searching  8)

            Maybe you can simultaneously sniff packets on the LAN interface in one screen and in the other one sniff the WAN iface in circumstance of error.

              Yes, in order to restore IPv6 connectivity through the firewall I have to reload the pfsense machine.

              I see no IPv6 errors in the firewall logs and I did a capture from the LAN interface when trying to tracert -6 to www.google.com

              PS C:\Users\Lobo> tracert -6 www.google.com

              Tracing route to www.google.com [2607:f8b0:400b:807::2004]
              over a maximum of 30 hops:

              Things are broken at the moment which is odd considering that the FW only has an uptime of 2 days.  I don't think my IPv6 settings should make a difference but I can provide those if it will help.  BTW, this problem was also occurring with the older 2.2.x code but I think 2.2.4 was the last stable version that never had this problem.

                Since you're getting "time exceeded in transit" it might tell us that either your routing table gets messed up or the TTL is set too low. I suspect the former, i.e. routing table.
                Could you please spot if there are any differences in the routing table of your firewall during the error and when everything works fine.

                  Sure, are there specific commands I should run from the CLI on pfsense that might help?

                    Well, ipv6 traffic stopped working through the fw again so I rebooted and now that it's working I did the same traceroutes to www.google.com just to see if there's anything you guys can see.

                      Anyone have any advice? It's only been 2 days and the IPv6 connectivity is broken again and I have to reboot the firewall.

                        I ended up wiping the my pfsense to factory defaults and re-configuring everything from scratch (no backups used).  This was done on Thursday afternoon and this Sunday morning I woke to find that IPv6 is broken again.

                        I'm starting to wonder if maybe this can be related to my ISP (Teksavvy) in Ontario?  In the screenshot below, it shows a proper working IPv6 traceroute from HE.net to the LAN interface on my pfsense.  When things failed this morning, the same traceroute would stop at hop 4.  If routing for my prefix was working properly, then I should expect to see up to hop 5 since that's still within their network.  It's almost as if my delegated /56 is being withdrawn from their routing table.  Does rebooting the firewall trigger something with the PPPoE authentication to say "hey, I'm alive over here please send me my /56"?

                          I wanted to post an update on this.  I changed my WAN settings to reset every night at midnight and since doing that a week ago my IPv6 connectivity has remained stable.  While this is one way around the issue of having to reboot every 2-3 days I still don't think I need to be doing this.  Plus it ends up resetting a lot of my connections I have established (irc and others).  So again I have to ask if we think this is related to something within the pfsense config or is Teksavvy to blame here with them only keeping my /56 active because I re-request it every night?

                            Hi everyone, just an update regarding this issue.  I posted in a Teksavvy dslreports forum about the issue I'd been having and got some interesting feedback.  They recommended allowing IPv6 ICMP packets to hit the WAN interface of the firewall.  After doing this, my IPv6 connectivity to my LAN has remained constant and is at 5 days straight now vs losing it after 2 days.  So either something has changed on the Teksavvy side to monitor the CPE/FW of their customers to ensure that the DHCP /56 that is handed out is still valid and should stay in their routing tables vs removing it.  Or something on the pfsense configuration changed in that Teksavvy is no longer able to tell whether the FW is alive or not via some kind of ND or whatever.  This started about a year ago so it's not something recent.  Others seem to have experienced similar problems with one person using a cron job to reset the DHCP6 session nightly.

                            I'll post back if things change and I lose connectivity again.
