    Hello, Anyone has been able to get Pfsense to work with Spectrum IPv6?
    I get IP, but it seems the v6 Gateway goes away after few moment.
    Here is the WAN config

      Found more info,
      the IPv6 default gateway is not accessible.

        I have Spectrum in SoCal, and use a prefix hint on WAN. If you have VLANS or several LAN networks, hint a 56. I also found that 'Do not wait for RA' was not needed. That combination on the WAN side works for me. Then on the lan/vlan side, Track Interface WAN works fine, and I then select the Prefix ID I want per VLAN from my 56. It's been very stable here.
        Remember to select DO NOT ALLOW PD/ADDRESS RELEASE unless you like having your IPV6 address/networks changing all the time.

            @buzzman said in Spectrum config for IPv6:

            the IPv6 default gateway is not accessible.

            You're using a link local address, which does not work. Find a GUA somewhere beyond the gateway and use that. I did a traceroute to Google and used the first GUA that turned up.

            Link local addresses are commonly used for routing with IPv6.

            UniFi AC-Lite access point

            I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...
