Pings ok but nothing else

[Gertjan]

Hi,

Break the problem in half.
Use the Netgate's document to install and activate he.net on you LAN. Here it is : https://www.netgate.com/docs/pfsense/interfaces/using-ipv6-with-a-tunnel-broker.html
Sign up here https://ipv6.he.net/certification/ , do the entire certification program.
When ipv6 is up and running, add it to a VLAN.

Btw : I'm using he.net for years now, adding ipv6 to all my LAN's, works great.

Hi Gertjan, Thanks for getting back to me. I did follow that document and its all connected. However when I attempt to do anything other than ping or traceroute, like going to an ipv6 test site it fails the test. If I attempt to get gmail the page won't load.

I know its got to be something at my end I just have exhausted my knowledgebase.

Fetching a https page form pfSEnse using IPv6 works :

curl https://www.google.com -6 -v -o file

?

[mark-b]

Doesn't seem to do it either (just like the client).

curl https://www.google.com -6 -v -o test

mtu is at 1280 but I've tried it at other recommended settings.

What is the MTU on the he.net side ?

[mark-b]

Its the same. 1280. I've tried different values but I read to start low and move up.

I have a friend using ipv6 and he can ping my hosts but I can't reach his. Kind of odd but he might have firewall rules in place.

Tried rebooting pfsense this morning but nothing changed.

The firewall for the vlan that has ipv6 i have allow all to everywhere rule and nothing in outbound nat.

I also removed ipv4 on the vlan and that didn't change anything for ivp6. I lost connectivity to everything on ipv4.

I've read lots about tls errors on ipv6 but nothing really definitive in their conclusions. Most just shut off ipv6.

[ErTnEc]

In your Firewall rules, make sure you have the relevant Allow All rules in place to allow you to talk out:

Also, just double check that on the Interface you have assigned to the HE GIF, you are allowing ICMP through too.

As for the MTU Size, I've got mine set to 1472 (my PPPoE is set to 1492) and this works fine for me. Make sure, again, that the interface assigned to the HE GIF, has the same MTU as configured within tunnelbroker:

IPV6 over IPV4 (which is effectively what is happening with this tunnel) we only need to work out the IPV4 overhead (20 bytes) so this is why my MTU is set to 1472. I'm not sure if you would also need to consider the overhead for 802.1q (VLAN) which is 4 bytes, so you may need to up it to 24 bytes overhead.

Post them... Pretty sure that "SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL" is just a generic sort of error.. Like could not even open the connection.. Which would point to say a rule that is only allowing icmp. Which would explain why pings and traceroutes work.. As to you reaching your friends - does he allow it?

How about a simple sniff on your client as you try your curl test.. Do you see the syn and syn,ack come back?

Have used HE for years - its rock solid stable - running 2.4.4 pfsense.

On the vlan I have

On the tunnel interface I have

I have played with different mtu settings and always made sure they were the same at both ends

0_1540221523636_tcpdump-ipv6.txt

This is looking for traffic on the lan interface at the router.

Keep getting spam error trying to post this, I hope it works with upload file.

I know its not he.net or the equipment. It has to be something I have misconfigured. No more hair to pull out.

@mark-b

Have you ended up figuring this one out? I’m having similar issues.
