      I assume your ISP will be using DHCPv6-PD to provide your prefixes. Why do you want a DHCPv6 server on the LAN side? SLAAC usually works well and Android devices won't work with DHCPv6, thanks to some genius at Google.

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

        @jknott well i reading that since the isp is providing non static ipv6, you should run ULA on the Lan?

          That depends. My ISP uses DHCPv6-PD but my prefix is consistent, since pfsense added the Do not allow PD/Address release setting. You can still run ULA if you want. However, that does not affect whether you use SLAAC or DHCPv6.

            @jknott so i leave the pfsense dhcpv6 enable and use RA as a ASSISTED mode, then create the dhcpv6 on windows server using ULA?
            thanks

              You don't have to use a DHCPv6 server on the LAN. As I mentioned, Android devices won't work with it. SLAAC does all you need, unless you have a specific requirement that needs DHCPv6. I have both GUA and ULA here and only use SLAAC.
