IPv6 manual PD

No. You will want to delete everything if you are getting a DHCP6 PD and using tracking interfaces.

What, exactly, is your goal.

When you deal with NATting IPsec connections because both sides chose the same RFC1918 subnet and nobody wants to renumber you will see the value of doing a globally-unique local /48 at every site from the beginning.

Delete everything ... Sorry, I totally lost you there.

What, exactly, is your goal.

Local IPv6 addresses registered in the DNS resolver to allow contacting machines from the internal LAN when the Global prefix isn't being delegated.

The idea is to move away from anything IPv4 related. IPv4 is only used as a backup and in some scenarios where IPv6 isn't fully supported.

I was thinking he should have both ULA and GUA. If he doesn't have either, there's some other problem.

Which is what I believe as well.

There are problems with that.

When I have to reboot I:

Delete the ULA IP Alias VIPs from LAN and DMZ
Edit/Save WAN to kick off DHCP6 and Track interface
Put the ULA VIPs back on LAN and DMZ

After that I am good until I have to reboot the firewall again. That is the current state of things. If that is unacceptable for you then pfSense, as it exists right now, might not be a good fit for your requirements.

@Derelict, would you mind elaborating on deleting and putting back the ULA VIPs as referred to above ?

@Derelict Would you believe it. That was the last place I never check. Doh ! Thanks.
