      Hi

      My IPV6 configuration seem to stopped working after a few upgrades. It used to work before: I got all checks passed in IPv6 test sites.
      My ISP is Proximus/Belgacom Belgium.
      My interfaces do get a IPv6 address, as you can see in the screenshot. Also the DHCP6 gateway shows "Online".

      Also, I have a lot of logs like this:

      Jul 28 09:31:54	kernel		cannot forward src fe80:9::ec4:7aff:fe08:a09e, dst 2001:470:28:4d6::5, nxt 6, rcvif igb0_vlan2, outif pppoe0
      
      

      The destination is a Syncthing destination. Seems logical to me a link-local address can't be forwared to a public one.
      The source is a server in the LAN network:

        For the WAN Interface please show the advanced DHCP6 settings. What I experienced quite a lot was some inconsistent behavior of pfsense 2.x having those "advanced DHCP6 settings" changed. Most of the times a reboot of the firewall was necessary in order to get the new settings to take effect.

        Also please show how the network interface configuration of a client looks like ( routing / ip addressing etc.)

        What is the ICMP error message at the client when you do a ping?

          It seems to work today, so it looks like it fails some days but not all:

          Network interface configuration of a client, ping (no failing today) and route:

          I will post this again the day it fails again. The Pfsense reboots every day. So it's a test every day.

            Your DHCPv6 is not working, you get link local addresses (staring with fe08).

            Perhaps you need to set your router advertisement mode to managed?
