      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!

              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.

                        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.
