    so just for testing purposes, I bypassed the isp's router. I have an ipv6 address in ipconfig and on interfaces but test-ipv6.com shows no ipv6 address. traceroute6 also works. I am running squid and pfblocker-devel if it matters.

      My rule of thumb is to start simple. Get it working first, then add the other stuff. That way, you know what's causing problems.

      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...

        so I have 10/10 on test-ipv6.com but every time I reboot my pc or add a new device, I have to restart dhcp6 server and ra on pfsense, otherwise I get 0/10 but I do have a ipv6 address on my pc. any advice is welcome.

          Why are you running dhcp6 on the LAN? You shouldn't use it, unless you have a need. Also, Android devices won't work with it. All you need is SLAAC.

            Maybe I was not clear. I am in assisted mode so I have both dhcp6 and slaac

              Once again, why? Unless you have a specific need for dhcp6, don't use it. SLAAC works fine. What is it you expect it to provide that SLAAC doesn't?
              This goes back to my keep it simple rule.

                because it works this way and I am an ipv6 noob and am afraid to change settings.

                    Do you have other devices? Are they OK?

                      I realized the problem was my bridge so I am in the middle of a complete redesign of my network. Will post back when I know more. Hopefully the family wont object too much to the down time.
