            Yes, I can confirm that IPv6 works good. About 36 hours and no problem.

                @rschell idk if it's related to this update but lately i had trouble with my ipv6 tunnel, i still need to investigate but the problem is that my tunnel does not work after a reboot
                the gif is up but gateway monitor say packet loss 100%
                i had to reboot 2 / 3 times in a row to make it work again

                  @kiokoman Unlikely related to the proposed patch. I'm using an 6RD stf interface and have noticed issues with loss of the WAN connection. Might be a timing issue with the gif interface, not certain.

                    some kind of race condition at boot maybe, also if i wait some hours the tunnel start to work alone. but it's faster if i reboot until it start working. idk the problem started last week just after i moved pfsense from bare metal to esxi, probably something to do with that

                      @kiokoman I've noticed that bare metal vs Hyper V behave differently in subtle ways.

                        ok i think that i found what's going on, if i disable openvpn before restarting pfsense the tunnel work.
                        so i have to disable openvpn, restart pfsense, and when it's up i can start the openvpn otherwise i have trouble

                          Looks like there are no error messages on the latest STABLE snapshots.

                            do we no longer have to apply that patch manually?
                            I have not yet had time to update and verify

                                    @kiokoman It appears you are still using the patched binary. I had my main pfSense running for 35+ days with the patch, so I am reasonably certain that it is a good work around for the issues in stable-12.

                                      Yep, it can be true, I have found it right after installing STABLE. I looked for a error messages, did not found it and did

                                      pkg install -f -y radvd

                                      It downgraded my version back to that one which is in the pfSense repository and sorry guys but it failed the same way as before. I just forgot that another one error message

                                      IPv6 forwarding on interface seems to be disabled, but continuing anyway

                                      got its own fix and I thought that the current version was updated so sorry guys for false hope!

                                          I'm running the latest development release:

                                          2.5.0-DEVELOPMENT (amd64)
                                          built on Wed Jun 03 13:09:01 EDT 2020
                                          FreeBSD 12.1-STABLE

                                          This morning, I noticed the routing log filled with this message:

                                          Jun 7 10:01:16 radvd 76671 can't join ipv6-allrouters on hn1

                                          IPv6 was not working. I rebooted and the system is now working.
