          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.

                                            I also notice many messages like "Jun 11 11:02:57 pfSense radvd[84278]: can't join ipv6-allrouters on ix1.116"

                                            However I would like to add:

                                            • after installing the 3 june package a few days ago ..... they were gone
                                            • today I installed the 10 june package and they where back
                                            • and I did have an IPV6 routing problem ...
                                            • than I did a reboot and ... the messages where gone
                                            • and my IPV6 routing issue seems to be gone

                                            Note that this is not at all an real test, just a quick obeservation.

                                            Louis
