Weird dpinger and IPv6 issue?
-
Without configuration, the default is to use the gateway address, which is a link local address. However, that address appears to be unresponsive to ping or traceroute, so I went with the GUA of the next hop. I expect this is how my ISP configured the gateway, rather than a problem with pfsense. One curious thing I noticed is when I pinged the link local address, without the interface, it would fail after 6 pings. If I added the interface, it didn't do anything until I stopped it at 30 pings.
BTW, I see in the widget that the IPv4 gateway has a globe icon, but not IPv6.

The globe means its the default gateway, you have two. One for IPv4 and one for IPv6.

So, why doesn't IPv6 have one?

Mine does, under system > routing do you have it selected as the default gateway?
-
Yeah mine shows globe next to my ipv4 gateway and then for ipv6 my tunnel

Yep. Here's the image under routing:
No globe there either. If I didn't have a default route for IPv6, I wouldn't be able to use it.

I'd guess it's down to dpinger now then, have you managed to get gateway monitoring properly working? Can you see the gateways on the dashboard widget showing "green"?
-
Yep, it's green and showing online.
