      Hello everyone!

      I'm quite new to IPv6 and I'm fighting problems for a few days, but no progress.

      IPv6 net is obtained through he.net and it seems to work fine from Pfsense router. The problems start when I'm trying to ping any IPv6 address from LAN (even router interface itself).

      Pfsense version: 2.3.2-RELEASE

      Ping:

      As far as I can see the router stops to respond to pings after "ICMP6, neighbor solicitation" requests with no response.

      Any ideas?
