      Hello!

      Recently I was looking into my DNS configuration and was noticing that my IPv6 only DNS servers were not being accessed. While I can access anything over IPv6 in the LAN, I cannot access anything over IPv6 on the router itself. I already checked my IPv6 gateway and manually set it properly.

      Other thing of note: I am using pfatt to connect to AT&T's network, which uses netgraph among other things to trick the AT&T provided gateway into authenticating with the other AT&T equipment. You can find it at https://github.com/monkwho/pfatt.

      ping6 cannot access Google

      [2.4.5-RELEASE][admin@router.my_domain.com]/root: ping6 google.com
      PING6(56=40+8+8 bytes) 2001:505:6013:5a32::1 --> 2607:f8b0:4000:812::200e
      ^C
      --- google.com ping6 statistics ---
      4 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100.0% packet loss
      

      traceroute6

      traceroute6 to google.com (2607:f8b0:4000:80f::200e) from 2001:505:6013:5a32::1, 64 hops max, 20 byte packets

      My ISP (AT&T Fiber) hands me a /60 PD. I have it split up between a LAN and a guest network, each having a /64. My firewall/NAT setup is default except for a port forward rule or two I enable occasionally for school.

      Does anyone have any advice on what might be going wrong here?

      Thanks so much in advance!

        On WAN interface check "Only request an IPv6 prefix, do not request an IPv6 address".

        ATT doesn't provide a routable IP to the interface.
