      I've had a working 2.6.0 system running on a apu4d4. PPPoE WAN, with both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses routed to it (IPv6 configured by dhcpv6 on the IP4 interface). Assorted local VLANs with firewall rules between them, and an LTE modem on an optional interface that's only normally used by a couple of static routes.

      Yesterday I upgraded from 2.6.0 to 2.7.0, and found that after the upgrade the WAN interface only had an IPv6 address.

      Further investigation (most usefully, watching the output of ifconfig over ssh) revealed that it was negotiating an IPv4 address successfully, but this was then disappearing after a few seconds. If I disabled the IPv6 on the WAN interface, it negotiated and kept its IPv4 address, but obviously then none of the IPv6 stuff would work.

      I assumed this was likely related to migrating the old config, so today I did a clean install of 2.7.0. If I configured the WAN interface on a bare system, it would successfully negotiate - and keep - both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. If I restored my config from backup, the same problem occurred.

      So I spent several hours re-constructing my firewall rules etc. by hand on a clean install. Eventually the problem re-appeared, but in an un-predictable way: At first it seemed that my static routes to the LTE modem were the cause of the problem, then it was the DNS resolver being enabled. In the absence of anything helpful in system log, I concluded that it's probably a timing-related issue that depends on how much Stuff happens after the WAN interface gets a new address.

      Has anyone seen anything similar?

      I've restored the working 2.6.0 system from a ZFS snapshot for now, as we need a working internet connection.

        Do you have VIPs on the PPPoE WAN? If so you're almost certainly hitting this: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/14434

        Check the logs, do you see the mpd ppp service restarting as soon as it connects?

          @stephenw10 I saw that, and tried switching off the routing of my additional subnets at the ISP end, but that didn't make a difference.

          It doesn't sound like the same bug, I see:

          rc.newwanip: on (IP address: [REDACTED]) (interface: WAN[wan]) (real interface: pppoe0).

          And it doesn't continuously restart.

          Plus it all works fine on a minimally-configured system. Very odd.

            Hmm, OK. So what are you adding that causes it to lose the IP?

            Can you post more of the system logs covering it?

              @stephenw10 Not easy to test things, as I've had to revert to the working 2.6.0 system.

              Here's some logs that got copied to syslog on another machine. I'm calling it a night.

              All a bit of a mess... looks like a dhcp6c restarted.

              This looks okay, but why is it happening again?

                OK, I agree looks like a problem with the two dhcpv6 clients. That should be easy enough to test at least. Remove one or both of those see if it stays up.
