      An update: my clients are now routing IPv6 correctly, but the gateway issue persists.

      I needed to update a couple firewall rules, but my rules have been failing to apply since my CoDel limiter requires an address on my IPv6 gateway to function. I disabled the IPv6 pass rule that applies the limiter so that I could complete my other update. After doing so, IPv6 traffic has begun to flow again.

      So it seems there is no issue with the underlying routing, in my case. Only that without a gateway address populated on the interface, I'm unable to apply my limiter. Possibly other issues? Not sure, but perhaps this changes the conversation a bit?

        @k3nb5t What is that IPv6 Address pointed to for your monitor IP?

          @spacey That's Google Public DNS. I don't use their DNS services, but I do ping them :)

            I'd hate to hijack the thread but I am also experiencing this issue with WAN IPv6 on Comcast, strangely under interfaces it says it has an IPv6 address, even for LAN, but under Gateways it says Unknown and Pending for IPv6- where it didn't previously before updating. I tried everything mentioned in this thread, also not quite sure why after editing the monitor IP (which didn't work) for WAN DHCPv6 it shows an anchor now

              Actually Update- it works now after restarting and putting the monitor IP as Google (which I don't understand why this has to be done I don't want to use Google at all and never had this previously at all)

              But still doesn't display correctly

                Because once you edited it and saved the gateway, it overrides the default in the list. If you delete it, the default will reappear and will not have an anchor. You will also notice that you won't be able to delete the default.

                  Got it working here too using the IP6 address on the WAN interface as a monitor ID.

                  On the LAN side I can now ping Google's IP6 DNS servers.

                  May change the monitor IP to Google IP6 DNS server as it was before.

                  1 - "What is my IP" is showing an IP6 address
                  2 - test-ipv6.comcast.net shows a 10 now
                  3 - ipv6-test.com shows 17/20.
                  4 - not showing an IP 6 gateway address in Dashboard
                  5 - not showing an IP 6 address in console
                  6 - can ping google's IP6 DNS servers from the console shell and ping

                  As mentioned above looks like but not sure that it is a DHCP6 issue or PFSense doesn't display gateway address anymore??

                    Seems like the IPv6 link-local gateway address is not being parsed and populated neither for Status | Gateways or Status | Interfaces

                    From my experience, it was partially defunct (restarting dpinger solved this after a reboot) on 2.4.5-p1 and completely borked now with pfSense+ 21.02 and pfSense CE 2.5.

                      @lnguyen I'm beginning to wonder if it's possible to copy the interfaces section of my 2.4.5 XML file - specifically the DHCPv6, and appending it to my current 2.5 XML, having a hard time narrowing it down where it would go into, looking at the two side by side there isn't much of a difference, I just know it displayed correctly in Gateways for WAN DHCPv6 with the IPv6 address and showed online. ugh.

                        @spacey Obviously there is an underlying regression in code but for now what do you want to accomplish?

                        • Display the IPv6 Link-Local Gateway address

                        and/or

                        • Monitor the IPv6 Link-Local Gateway address

                        If so you can grab the IPv6 Link-Local Gateway address from Diagnostics | Routes and manually define it:

                        System | Routing | Gateways | WAN_DHCP6 | Monitor IP

                          I don't believe this would yield a positive difference as I think the issue is not config but rather code.

                              Thanks for filing that bug. Hopefully it gets some attention soon. I think you are right about a bug in the code. I just upgraded to 21.02-RELEASE for my SG-1100. It states for WAN_DHCP6 unknown for status. Yet the following is true.

                              • Under interfaces it lists the IPV6 address for WAN
                              • I can ping ipv6.google.com with IP protocol IPV6 from Diagnostics -> Ping

                                Someone else filed it. I only shared it here in the forums.

                                Take note that in 2.4.5-p1 under Status | Interfaces there is a field for Gateway IPv6. This is completely missing for pfSense+ 21.02 and pfSense CE 2.5

                                  I have the same problem after update to 2.5.0

                                  IPv6 is working but there is no gateway.

                                    pfSense has the IPv6 gateway but is not showing it under Interfaces tab and widget.

                                    After I reboot the cable modem I again getting IP addresses but then no IPv6 connection. Pinging also isn't possible anymore. Tried everything only rebooting pfSense works.

                                    BUT: my second WAN (PPPoE DSL) is working without any issues. It's only the cable connection. Both connections use the same IPv6 config to get the /56 prefix (that seems working) and the PPPoe also is getting IPv6 Gateway. The cable does not.

                                          This worked for me. Now passes on all IPv6 test sites I tried.

                                            As suggested, manually adding the Monitor address seems to solve part of the issue, though with Gateway hardcoded as "dynamic", it seems to affect the ability to use it in firewall rules -- CoDel Limiters, for example below.

                                            21:00:51 There were error(s) loading the rules: /tmp/rules.debug:223: no routing address with matching address family found. - The line in question reads [223]: pass  out  quick  on {  igb1  }  $GWWAN_DHCP6 inet6 from any to any tracker 1610764779 keep state  dnqueue( 2,1)  label "USER_RULE: CoDel Limiters"
