DDNS IPv6 Cloudflare

Bob.Dig

It seems to be a bug in pfSense.
In the screenshot you can see that I should be able to input a host or FQDN for IPv4 and v6, but pfSense is always puting a /32 behind it, so it is not possible for IPv6 right now. It will only allow /128 with a real IPv6 address.

I am getting nuts, please someone answer.

johnpoz

Can you not read??? Right above where you trying to put in what your putting in???

What does it say about host names and the /32

Bob.Dig

@johnpoz I can read and it says I can input a hostname or FQDN for IPv6, but it doens't do it, always getting back to /32...
It is also not working under Alias/host but here (Alias/networks) the problem is more visible.

johnpoz

What do you think is going to get put in there if you put in a fqdn??? What fqdn are you going to put in??

Bob.Dig

@johnpoz I tried hostnames from the dhcp servers, tried with DNS, tried host with parent domain...

I want a Firewall-Alias which comes from the dns-resolver, or something I can work with, is this possible?

e.g.

johnpoz

Dude how hard is it show what you want? hostU2 is not going to freaking resolve to anything - how and the F do you think that could work?

Bob.Dig

@johnpoz It is working for IPv4! Why not for v6.

johnpoz

What is in your alias???????? hostu2 is not a FQDN..

Bob.Dig

@johnpoz For IPv4 e.g.

and works, tried it right now with a friend.

johnpoz

And what does pfsense resolve that too??? It would be using its own search suffix?

What is in the table? Go to hostname and resolve u2.. What does it come back with..

Bob.Dig

@johnpoz Where should I look exactly? The firewall tab can't show it.

Bob.Dig

@johnpoz When I go to Diag/table it will only say 192.168.1.30
But why? Why can't I input the same for IPv6 there.

johnpoz

And where do you think it gets that from?? U2 is not a FQDN it can not resolve... you have it in your host file on pfsense.. or you append the domain to it when you query it...

Do you have IPv6 there... I can resolve any fqdn I want for ipv6...

Bob.Dig

@johnpoz So who put the 192.168.1.30 in that table? Where originated it? Why can't I do the same thing for IPv6?

johnpoz

Here

there is no ipv4 for pfsense, but there is a pfsense.local.lan IPv6 entry in my resolver host override... So when I tell ping to ping that host via ipv6 it gets the IPv6 address..

Bob.Dig

@johnpoz So my question is this, it is working for IPv4, tested it.
FQDN also works.

Why is it not working for IPv6?

johnpoz

Because its not int he TABLE!!!!

Where do you think its going to magically come up with that IPv6 address???

Bob.Dig

@johnpoz The same way it got not magically the IPv4 in that table.
How can I achieve that? I have the feeling it could be a bug, but little do I know.

johnpoz

Its not freaking magic... You have that address in your host file... See mine has IPv6 for pfsense and nothing for pfsense IPv4 - so it doesn't resolve IPv4..

Put in a IPv6 address in your host file via host override!

Your lack of understanding does not = bug!

Bob.Dig

@johnpoz So I have not willingly or knowingly put it in a host file for IPv4. When does pfSense this and why it didn't happened for IPv6 also?
I think it is a bug. The bug is that the alias is taking no hosts or FQDN for IPv6, only for IPv4.
