      Is there any simple tutorial that shows step by step how to enabling IPv6 in pfSense + AWS instance firewall and rules required to allow traffic In and Out. I have done all possible configurations
      -Enabled IPv6
      -Assigned WAN and LAN IPv6 address
      -Tried different Rules to allow IPv6 traffic an UDP Inbound and Outbound (all LAN traffic on any protocols)
      but seems the firewall is blocking all of it according to Firewall logs.

        @bewhereinc I'm seeing something similar. I think that because of it, I'm unable to get IPv6 at LAN interface.

          I assume the first post is about using AWS, but they have working IPv6 otherwise. Your situation is different, if you don't even have IPv6 on your LAN. Perhaps you can provide a bit more info, as my crystal ball is on the fritz again. For example, do you have a WAN IPv6? Does your ISP provide IPv6?

          PfSense running on Qotom mini PC
          i5 CPU, 4 GB memory, 32 GB SSD & 4 Intel Gb Ethernet ports.
          UniFi AC-Lite access point

          I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...

            @JKnott Yes we have build an instance of pfSense in AWS and firewall been working well with IPv4. Recently we have a project where the equipment we need to remotely manage are IPv6 only. Have turned IPv6 and all seem in place but I can see Firewall blocking the traffic from these devices. WAN and LAN have IPv6 assigned and I can see them in pfSense. Even LAN traffic deosn't seem to be working on IPv6, for example I can ping IPv4 address but not IPv6
