      @jknott Heyho,
      like you mentioned, WAN can be tricky, the first try was without any captured Packages :(

      Here is the LAN Capture: I'll try the WAN capture ASAP

        @jknott So I tried this one:

        WAN Interface:
        IPv6
        Port Number 546

        got this small package capture. Does this help?

        WAN_2.zip

        But since this is in an Proxmox with OVS Switch configured, could I capture from that?

          One thing I see right off is in the solicit, you're asking for a /60, but being offered a /59. We saw this recently with someone on Comcast, IIRC. On my system, I request and get a /56. I have no idea why you're getting that.

          IA Prefix
          Option: IA Prefix (26)
          Length: 25
          Value: ffffffffffffffff3c000000000000000000000000000000…
          Preferred lifetime: infinity
          Valid lifetime: infinity
          Prefix length: 60
          Prefix address: ::

          IA Prefix
          Option: IA Prefix (26)
          Length: 25
          Value: 000934d100126f513b2a0209084c1239a000000000000000…
          Preferred lifetime: 603345
          Valid lifetime: 1208145
          Prefix length: 59
          Prefix address: 2a02:908:4c12:39a0::

          On the LAN side, I see your RAs are saying to use a /63, when it should always be a /64. This also happened with that guy on Comcast.

          ICMPv6 Option (Prefix information : 2a02:908:4c12:39a0::/63)

          Given the same thing is happening with 2 different ISPs, I wonder if there's a bug somewhere.

          BTW, you don't have to ZIP the captures. Just download and paste the file is good enough.

            Here's the Comcast thread, with a similar problem to yours.

              @jknott Wow ... that is really interesting, especially now, that comcast is not an german based ISP and I got the same issues.

              Which now makes me think: Is there a work around that I can reach out via IPv6, is should I even disable it? I'm even fine using NAT until it's sorted out 😲

                Aehm ... Wow, not I'm just blown away ...

                I got now an IPv6 Connection 😲

                The "only" thing I changed in pfsense: Set WAN to /59 prefix, DHCPv6-PD to /63 prefix. That is ... Wow ...

                Now my last question is: Do I need to setup my pihole with IPv6 too or is it enough to be reachable via IPv4?

                  The /59 & /63 prefixes indicate there's still a problem somewhere.

                      My concern is that /63. The LAN side prefix is supposed to be /64 for SLAAC to work properly. I don't know what will happen with the wrong prefix.

                          At the moment, you're using an even number prefix. What happens if you pick an odd one? That /63 moves the boundary between the prefix and suffix over by one to the left. Will a prefix ID 1 now be the same as 0?
