UK Sky FTTP woes.
-
Recently moved house and have just had Sky FTTP installed - trying to get pfSense up and working again.
I've started from a fresh install and my network layout is very simple
ONT -> pfSense -> Unifi AP.
After some research/playing around I have successfully got the WAN interface to have what appears to be both an IPv4 and v6 address. The v6 address is a link local address but I think this what sky issue?Problems I am having:
- The LAN interface IPv6 is set to track the WAN but doesn't seem to get an IPv6 address.
- I am unable to ping any IPv6 address from pfSense.
- WAN DHCP gateway shows 100% packet loss. WAN DHCP6 shows pending.
- I have a bizarre issue that seems to affect only android phones. I see DNS issues where websites are occasionally very slow to load/timeout but a second refresh them gets them loaded fine.
My trying to self help led me down the path of issues with Ipv6 DNS being attempted first and failing then falling back to v4. This led me to then noticing that the whole of my LAN doesn't have IPv6. Not sure if they're related but would like both fixed.
My WAN interface settings:
At this point at a bit of a loss of what to try next - I have tried playing round with most of the settings to no avail. Any help would be appreciated

Check the DHCP logs, you may need to enable debug mode. Are you actually being passed a delegated prefix for LAN to use?
The gateway Sky send you may not respond to ping. Try setting an external monitoring IP like 8.8.8.8 instead.
Sky may require advanced send options as shown here: https://forum.netgate.com/post/1049718
