      Clients are getting an ipv6 address and working, but on the status page it either show and offline or no lease info at all.

        If the client picks up an address by SLAAC, then pfSense would have no way to know what address the client chose. It can only show you DHCPv6 addresses allocated to clients.

        Hosts only show "online" if they have recently talked to the firewall, check Diag > NDP table and that is where it gets the online status from.

          It is a DHCP.

          The gateway shows pending and yet i can reach ipv6.google.com. The chrome book shows a IPV6 address

            ChromeOS does not support obtaining addresses via DHCPv6 (Nor does Android), only via SLAAC.
