      Hello,
      My ISP has provided me with /48 subnet ipv6 addresses and it is working properly on Proxmox right now.
      I have created a VM that is connected to one of the network cards on the server. Right now, ipv4 LAN is working properly.
      I have enabled router advertisements in managed mode, created a bridge that connects LAN and WAN, enabled DHCP6 server on the bridge.
      The devices that are connected to the network get an ipv6 address successfully but they can't ping the gateway nor any other ipv6 address.
      For example:
      C:\Users\ahmet>ping 2a02:e0:3130:8aff::2

      Pinging 2a02:e0:3130:8aff::2 with 32 bytes of data:
      Destination host unreachable.
      Destination host unreachable.
      Destination host unreachable.
      Destination host unreachable.

      But on the router, the gateway is seen as up.

      Traceroute on the router is resulted like this:
      1 2a02:e0:4f00:8a::2 0.236 ms 0.071 ms 0.099 ms (proxmox local)
      2 2a02:e0:4f00:8a::1 5.929 ms 1.929 ms 2.337 ms (gateway that the ISP provided)
      3 * * *
      4 * * *
      5 * * *
      6 fc00:0:0:2004::1 18.231 ms 16.653 ms 16.665 ms
      7 * * *
      8 2001:1900:2::3:26 41.462 ms 40.526 ms 49.347 ms
      9 2001:1900:5:2:2:0:18:51fe 43.036 ms 94.548 ms 60.216 ms
      10 2400:cb00:123:1024::ac44:e12c 40.127 ms
      2400:cb00:123:1024::ac44:e113 40.867 ms
      2400:cb00:123:1024::ac44:e142 38.289 ms

      Any help would be appreciated.

        Is the VM set up as a bridge or NAT connection? If NAT, the IPv4 address will be in a different subnet than the LAN and IPv6 won't work. You need to bridge the interface. Also, it might help to mention which VM you're using.

        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...
