IPv6 on 2VLANs
-
Hello,
The ISP is assigning a ::/64. So I'm out of luck :)
They might be assigning a ::/56 sometimes during January 2018.
Just out of curiosity, can you put some screenshots on how to do it using a ::/56 ?Thanks a lot,
Andy -
There's really no need for screen shots. As I mentioned, you set the desired prefix size on the WAN page. In my case I selected a /56 and when you configure the interface, you just choose which /64 to use on that interface. Also make sure that RAs are set up properly. That's pretty much all there is to it. It works the same way whether you have 1 /64 or 65,536. If you can do one, you can do them all.

Thanks a lot.

If you don't want to wait til your ISP starts handing out prefixes you can work with multiple segments behind pfsense. You could always setup tunnel with Hurricane Electric (free) you can get a /48 from them. Then you could setup as many vlans you want on ipv6.

Does it also work if my ISP is assigning dynamic IPv4 addresses ?
As far as I know, HE requires an IPv4 static endpoint..Thanks

Where would you have gotten that FUD from?

At one point, HE. I was looking at them several hears ago and then you had to supply an IPv4 address and they had no way of handling a different address. While my IPv4 address was virtually static and I could have used it, I went with another provider that could even handle mobile users & NAT. I believe HE now has a way to handle changing addresses, though I haven't investigated it.

HE.NET has the ability to use a dynamic DNS address for the tunnel endpoint. In fact there is a specific dyndns provider setting in pfSense for HE.NET Tunnelbroker.
Just do it. It works great.

Can they handle NAT yet? The tunnel broker I used could either use 6in4 IP protocol 41 or UDP. UDP was necessary behind NAT.

No idea. NATs are bad.

Yeah, I know. But when you're using someone else's network, you have no choice.
