      I'm unable to configure ipv6 on pfsense, these are the steps I followed

      • On WAN Set IPv6 Configuration Type to DHCP6
        • Set DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation size to 64
        • Check Send IPv6 prefix hint everything else is unchecked
      • On LAN Set IPv6 Configuration Type to Track Interface
        • Select WAN from drop down list on IPv6 Interface
        • Set IPv6 Prefix ID to 0
      • On Services > DHCPv6 Server check DHCPv6 Server
        • Leave default values
          • Range ::1000 to ::2000
          • Prefix Delegation Size to 64
      • On Router Advertisements Select Assisted
      • Set the firewall rule on LAN ipv6 * LanNet * * * *

      2400:adc1:xxxx:xxxx:20c:29ff:fe0d:2849 assigned on LAN interface
      2400:adc1:xxxx:xxxx:20c:29ff:fe0d:2853 assigned on WAN interface

      Pfsense DNS server(s)

      • 127.0.0.1
      • 8.8.8.8
      • 8.8.4.4
      • fe80::1
      • 2001:4860:4860::8888

      On windows pc;
      IPv6 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 2400:adc1:xxxx:xxxx::10de
      IPv6 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 2400:adc1:xxxx:xxxx:f854:87aa:fb14:aeda
      Temporary IPv6 Address. . . . . . : 2400:adc1:xxxx:xxxx:4dd5:b0e3:eba7:27a1
      Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::f854:87aa:fb14:aeda%21
      Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : fe80::20c:29ff:fe0d:2849%21
      DNS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : 2400:adc1:xxxx:xxxx:20c:29ff:fe0d:2849

      Pfsense web configurator can be accessed with http://[fe80::20c:29ff:fe0d:2849]/ as well

      On the router provided by ISP
      Prefix: 2400:adc1:xxxx:xxxx::/56

      Pfsense gateway status is online on WAN_DHCP6 fe80::1
      pfSense can also ping google.com on IPv6 but windows pc can't

        @uzairali001 said in How do I configure ipv6 on pfsense:

        Set DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation size to 64

        Set that to whatever the ISP provides. Mine gives me a /56.

        DHCPv6 Server check DHCPv6 Server

        Use SLAAC unless you need DHCPv6.

        Assisted

        I have unmanaged.

        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...
