      I am running pfsense 2.4.4 within an esxi as my router. I have one wan interface and then 1 LAN interface with 3 vlans associated with it. I am using Comcast residential as my ISP. I had PFsense configured to request a /60 from comcast and then I would assign statics to my vlans based on the prefix I was given. I since had a crash of my host and had to rebuild.

      I now cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to request a global ipv6 to be put on my LAN, and then a /60 so I can distribute that to my lan interfaces. My openwrt router can seem to do this without issue. I do not want to turn on interface tracking because I would like to customize the router IPs so it will be <pd>::1 so I can add the entries into DNS and all that.

      Right now, it seems I can only receive an IPv6 PD if I enabled tracking on the interfaces, but it gives me a /64 for each interface where as in the past, I specifically remember being given a /60 from Comcast when looking in the logs.

      I have tried setting my PD to /60 and then checking the box "send PD hint" but I am currently stuck because the /var/etc/dhcp6c_wan.conf file will not parse unless interfaces are being tracked.

      Can anyone help me out with how I would configure this?

        Ok, so it appears I was getting a PD, but I wasn't seeing it in the logs because the DHCP6c debugging wasn't turned on. After turning it on, it was showing me the full PD of /60 being given to me and then the router handling the tracking.

        So, what I have done is enabled tracking only on one of my 3 vlan interfaces (the guest). Then after receiving the prefix, I can set statics on the other interfaces that I care about.
