          So, not yet.

          Waiting for https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports/pull/773 to be merged. I have no problems with patched binary.

            @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!

                ah ok, then the upgrade didn't remove the patched radvd, well no problem it works, I'm happy

                  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

                        The routing log was full of the messages this morning, so the problem is still present.

                          As @rschell said https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports/pull/773 still need to be applied, but it's not accepted and applied yet.

                            I updated Redmine issue #9577 with a revised RADVD install package for those continuing to experience problems. I left instructions there how to install.

                            I have had installs run for more than 35 days with the revised RADVD only to stop it to install new 2.5 updates..

                              @w0w I tried to apply the patch to 2.5.0-development using this commit ID: https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports/pull/773/commits/387a6ef1e4fd514596502e162878f64f0002170c, but it could not be applied. Am I doing something wrong?

                                @bimmerdriver Not sure, I rebase my git with every update and it works here.
                                Are you applying it to the ports Git? What errors are you getting?

                                  @rschell I didn't do anything with git. I tried to apply the patch directly to the development snapshot and it failed. I guess that's the problem.

                                    @bimmerdriver it’s applying changes to the C code of RADVD, so it needs to be compiled. I have uploaded a compiled version to redmine. You can install that package and it will survive most updates except full port replacements.

                                        @rschell Thank you, sir. It's installed and I will keep an eye on it.
