usb iphone ipv6 WAN dhcp6
-
hello,
Apologies if this is the wrong forum.I have been experimenting with using my iphone as a WAN with pfsense.
I have two iphones: one on (UK) o2 and the other on (UK) ee network. The iphone on o2 seems to work just fine. I set the interface up using DHCP and all is well.
However, the other phone, on ee, seems to use only ipv6. I hoped that merely setting the ipv6 config type to DHCP6 would work but it doesn't. The interface/gateway never goes online and I can't use it as a WAN. I have tried using SLAAC and that doesn't work either.
I wonder if anyone has any advice/recommendations. I am not familiar with how ipv6 works so I may be making some simple error with the set-up. For example, I also looked up the ipv6 network address and tried using that as the static ipv6 address but that doesn't work.
It is a shame as my ee mobile is the one I would like to use as a failover WAN. I set-up the o2 phone just to make sure I was getting the basics right. That phone works as a usb tether, so I know the issue is something to do with the way ee is dealing with DHCP/DHCP6. It's not to do with the usb set-up, which is working just fine (i can see the usb network address for both phones, can assign interfaces to each phone's network port, etc).
Many thanks
Jeremy
