Ipv6 setup for Telus
-
I have tried to get ipv6 working with pfsense and have had no luck .I am running pfsense from the bridged port 1 on the telus router .
-
This is what worked for me:
- Navigate to Interfaces -> WAN
- IPv6 configuration should be DHCPv6
- Under the DHCP6 config, select “Request only an IPv6 prefix”, prefix size 56, “Do not wait for a RA”, and “Do not allow PD/Address release”.
- Under the DHCP config, select advanced configuration and add “supersede dhcp-lease-time 1800;” under Option modifiers. I found this necessary to keep the IPv6 prefix working for longer than a few hours.
- Under your LAN interface, select track interface for IPv6, and pick a prefix ID of 0. Other interfaces can use nonzero IDs but I found if I didn’t use zero I would eventually lose the prefix and pfsense wouldn’t recover.
You could also add some rules to allow the relevant ICMPv6 packets through the firewall.

This is what i did and works perfect
You should have the following WAN settings:
IPV4: dhcp
IPV6: dhcp6
request prefix only
/56 prefix
do not wait for ra
do not allow pd release
You should have the following LAN settings:
ipv4: static
ipv6: track interface
upstream gateway: none
track ipv6 interface: WAN

The latest pfsense patch seems to have broken something. Can’t get an ipv6 address at all now. Don’t have time to debug it now but maybe in a few weeks I’ll look into it.

@eternalglue Works fine here no problems at all

The latest update works for me too. I'm on Rogers.

A reboot fixed it. Not sure what was going on, but an error in the system logs said something like “couldn’t allocate interface”. Wish I’d saved it now.
