      Can your client ping your lan ipv6 IP?  Your going to need to post up your rules for your lan and your wan if you want someone to help you point out what your doing wrong.

      Out of the box lan allows any any ipv6 on lan… So if your client is getting a vlan ipv6 on your lan segment it should be able to ping your lan ipv6 and your wan ipv6.

      From the outside.. Nobody would be able to ping your wan ipv6 or your clients behind it on your lan unless you allow for it.

        What does netstat -r show for the default route on IPv6?  It should be a link local address, as that's what IPv6 normally uses for routing.

        PfSense running on Qotom mini PC
        i5 CPU, 4 GB memory, 32 GB SSD & 4 Intel Gb Ethernet ports.
        UniFi AC-Lite access point

        I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...

          I am able to ping following from my machine

          1. LAN gateway ie LAN port of Pfsense
          2. WAN Port of pfsense from LAN
          3. WAN port of pfsense from Internet

          I am not able to ping

          1. anything other than WAN port  such as 2001:4860:4860::8888 ( Google DNS is not ping)
          2. I am not able to ping my LAN port from Internet
            even though policy is IPv6 any to any

                1. Yes my Client is able to ping both LAN port of pfsense and WAN port of pfsense but nothing beyond it
                2. If i login to pfsense, I am able to ping anything on Ipv6 from pfsense shell

                    where did you come up with those addresses.  I don't show any AS number for your wan IP

                    No AS number was found for 2001:df7:7640:a000::6
                    No AS number was found for 2001:df7:7640:bc4a::1

                    You can not just make numbers up?  And use them…

                      Don't worry I have changed my IP while posting query for security reasons, my actual ip is routable and has a very clear route-object

                        Well impossible to help you without being able to see if traffic gets to your wan or not, etc.  In a traceroute.

                        PM me your actual IPs
