Can ping IPv6 from LAN but not from firewall itself

@deed02392 Did you need to clone the MAC address to even get IPv6 to work? I had to clone the MAC of the ZTE Hyperoptic router to get IPv6 to work at all.

Hey yellowbrick, glad I'm not alone here! No I did not need to clone the MAC address. It 'just worked'. But I wasn't satisfied with not being able to use pfSense as a caching IPv6 DNS server and unfortunately in the process of trying to fix things I now no longer get any IPv6 addresses.

@deed02392 Well, try cloning the MAC on the WAN...

I got an e-mail from Hyperoptic today saying that apparently IPv6 is disabled pending a firmware update they are currently working on... not sure if was just being fobbed off but that was enough discouragement to make me leave playing for a few days. I will try again then. I wonder if this is a firewall issue really but I tried a bunch of frankly scary things there too and nothing helped.
