      Hi everyone,

      I'm having trouble setting up IPv6 for my pfsense network. I'm able to get an IPv6 address on my WAN interface, but not on my LAN interfaces. Additionally, I can ping IPv6 addresses from the pfsense console (since it gets an ipv6 address), but don't get an address with any devices on my LAN.

      A little background: I have pfsense running on a dedicated server, which is connected to my ISP's provided modem/router by using a birgde mode.

      on my ISP and based on what I've found, they use PPPoE, and they assign Prefix Delegate size of 56
      Here are my pfsense settings

      WAN Settings:

      IPv6 configuration Type: DHCP6
      Request a IPv6 prefix/information through the IPv4 connectivity link (is checked)
      PD size is (56)
      Send Prefix hint (NOT checked)
      Do not wait for RA (NOT checked)
      Do not allow PD address release (NOT checked)

      LAN Settings:
      IPv6 configuration Type: Track interface (WAN)
      Prefix ID: 0

      DHCP6 Server Settins in my LAN:
      DHCP6 Server is: Disabled
      Range is : from ::1000 to ::2000
      Prefix Delegation Size : (64)
      Provide DNS servers to DHCPv6 clients: (is checked)
      Change DHCPv6 display lease time from UTC to local time (NOT checked)
      Router mode is: Assisted
      Router priority is: High
      Provide DNS configuration via radvd (is checked)
      Use same settings as DHCPv6 server (NOT checked)

      Firewall for Both LANs allow any IPv4+IPV6

        @imesh_ Your first router has to support it as well, so post the names of your ISP and router.

          @bob-dig said in LAN can't get ipv6 address:

          post the names of your ISP and router.

          But I use bridge mode which works my router is just a a way between the pfsense and the isp (i think)
          my ISP is: STC
          my router is : Nokia g-240w-c

            Try allow IPv4+6 ICMP echo request on WAN port. From my understanding, IPv6 needs ICMP to work properly.

            @imesh_ said in LAN can't get ipv6 address:

            Do you mean WAN and LAN, or there are two LANs?
