        @chpalmer I really do not think that event coincides with something the ISP does. I repeat that it worked fine, with the same configuration, before the update to 2.4.4

        So if mine and everyone else's works why do you think your issue is a problem caused by pfsense other than "it worked before"?

          I do not understand this question. I think it is not a help, but it can be a difficulty with the interpretation of the language or culture, if not, I do not see how we move forward.

            Im trying to reason with you. You obviously have a problem that we do not have. We cannot diagnose your issue because it does not exist for us.

            Do you know how to take screen shots and post them?

                    This is what you said...

                    But according to your gateway your ISP is using SLAAC which is a tunneling protocol. This was important to state up front.

                    I do not have such a connection to test with.

                      @chpalmer Does not use SLAAC. Once I configured it that way and it stayed with that name, which I can not change from the original configuration. When performing a factory configuration, the gateway displays the correct name that is DHCP6.

                                Looks like I remembered wrong. Doesn't matter though if your not using it.

                                On your WAN page.. go down to DHCP6 Client Configuration.. Can you uncheck "only request an IPv6 prefix, do not request an IPv6 address" and try again..

                                  @chpalmer I did it now and the result was that ipv6 address was lost in LAN and WAN

                                    With a prefix of 64 you can only have global IPv6 addresses on one Interface, either WAN or LAN. If you want to have them on both you need a smaller prefix like 56.

                                      @grimson Thank you for your contribution. With that configuration you get ipv6 address in wan and in lan, under Pfsense 2.4.4 there is no ping from wan, yes from LAN. With the same configuration in Pfsense 2.4.3_p1 and earlier, I got ipv6 address in wan and in lan and I could also do piing from wan and from lan

                                      I tried your suggestion of a prefix of 56, the result was that the IPV6 address in LAN was lost. In Wan you get IPV6 address, but it does not ping.

                                          SLAAC is not a tunneling protocol. It's the usual way IPv6 works on a LAN to assign prefix and default route.
