pfsense / HE tunnel / client vm problem
-
@capt_scurrrvy said in psfense / HE tunnel / client vm problem:
fe80::a518/64
You understand that is link-local, you would not be able to get past your local network with such an address. Ie while you could look up stuff via local dns, you wouldn't be able to get to the internet, just like you ca not get to the internet with a rfc1918 address. Or a 169.254.x.x address

@johnpoz
Understood. fe80 is local-link.
Why is pfsense not providing the GW?
Why does ping6 work? DNS works. The ipv6 address for DNS is the LAN interface on pfsense.I don't like Windows (not wanting to start a comment war), but it works. I only turned off ipv4 in the properties. It is set to get ipv6 automatically.
Next is to try setting the default route manually. Would that be the address of the LAN nic on pfsense?
-
Side question:
Is there a way to edit the title of this thread? I noticed today I typed psfense instead of pfsense. -
Um so windows got a global address? If all your linux has a link-local, still not going anywhere even if it uses a link-local gateway. Unless you natted your link-local ipv6 to a global ipv6. Which isn't how it works ;)
Lets see the output of windows ipconfig /all
edit: I edited your title for you.
Also show us the ifconfig for you linux.. Here is my linux box with working IPv6
See how it has a global address, along with its link local address.

I believe what you are asking for is in the post above. Under Windows 8 config.
I don't remember if that was ipconfig or ipconfig /all. The routes are there too.Thanks.
-
Sorry I missed that - yeah it has a global address.. Does your linux?
edit: Oh missed that too - it does.. But your routing table is not correct..
Here for example is my default route on actual interface
It can point to the link-local of your gateway. But not going to work on your lo interface.

In that same post is my test Centos 8 vm. It did get assigned an address, but from the route list, doesn't look like the default route gets set. -
Your default is set, but only for lo - which never going to work.
-
@johnpoz
So is that Centos failing to request a route from the pfsense DHCP6 server or similarly failing to get the pfsense router advertisement? -
Clients do not get "routes" from dhcpv6.. Not how IPv6 works. RA is used..
-
@johnpoz
Does that mean pfsense's router advertisement is not sending the information? -
I noticed the fe80 address of the LAN nic of pfsense is being set automatically as the default route on the linux box.

I don't understand why that would happen.
The ifcg_eth1 file
DEFROUTE=yes IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=no IPV6INIT=yes IPV6_AUTOCONF=yes IPV6_DEFROUTE=yes IPV6_FAILURE_FATAL=no IPV6_ADDR_GEN_MODE=stable-privacy

Still trying to figure out why I can't get non Windows machines to communication via ipv6.
On pfsense, I have disabled DHCPv6 and Router Advertisements.
On the Centos vm, I statically set the ipv6 address and the gateway.
Just as previously, the VM can:
ping6
(this even does the correct DNS lookup)traceroute6 and tracepath6 both show going out the Hurricane Electric tunnel.
Just as previously, the VM cannot:
Use a browser to view cnn, google, redhat.I even put an allow any type rule on the pfsense WAN, LAN, and WANv6.
I disabled the firewall running on Centos.It is as if TCP is not working. However, tcpdump shows traffic.

Upgraded to 2.5.0. Had to manually add the default route for my ipv4 gateway on the WAN. See Default gateway can not be created with GUISurprise, Firefox on CentOS VM started to get to ipv6 web sites. This is with a manually assigned ipv6 for CentOS. Not sure what has changed between 2.4.5 and 2.5.

I upgraded this morning my main 'company' pfSense to 2.5.0.
I'm using he.net for my my IPv6 'needs'.I had nothing to do.
Everything came up and was working fine.
( + captive portal using FreeRadius - OpenVPN server for my remote access).Even a non-native package I installed many years ago was upgraded and kept on running.
