      Stay the running version 2.4.5-p1, until you get a green light,..... and test in a VM environment with 2.5.0 ... PLS

      It's not a major problem. I don't often need a VPN to reach my home network, when I'm already at home. However, it is nice to be able to ensure it's working before I need to use it from elsewhere. With COVID, that's not happening very often. I can still test by tethering to my phone.

        @jknott I would have to buy yet another device (probably another router) to get the fax machine going.

        I'm having trouble understanding this. Is your phone on the same modem as your Internet connection? If so, can it not provide the phone service when in bridge mode, as mine does?

        BTW, faxes are obsolete. I haven't sent one in years.

          Like @me .....😉

          do you know what I am using now?

          from "untrusted" ISP zone - GPON 1/1 Gig + 2 IPS IP + VOIP + ISP NAT for VOIP + CCTV

          • bridge mode for pfSensen on port 4 (Technicolor router ISP)

          pure GPON ISP IP.... 1000 / 1000 with very serious quality:

            @jknott Again, don't say that, I have voted by fax in the last us elections. 😝
            And no, it has no bridge mode. I haven't see any device for VDSL which could be a bridge and has a jack for a phone and some stuff is different here.

                    Where can I learn the ipv6 nat tutorial? Our university’s ipv6 network ppoe cannot get ipv6 prefixes. maybe i have to use ipv6 nat for LAN.

                      @yon-0 If you have an IPv6 address on the WAN-Interface, then sure, go for it.

                        yes, WAN show has an ipv6 address with /64, i use WAN DHCP6 and LAN track interface, LAN can't get ipv6.

                        how config ipv6 nat in pfsense 2.5 or 2.6?

                            How many prefixes do you need? Pfsense allows multiple users to share a single prefix. If you can't fit all the users in a /64, you're doing something wrong.

                                You do it exactly as with IPv4 (use ULAs "instead" of private IPs and don't forget outbound NAT).
