Ipv6 almost working?
-
After a whole day trying to get this to work I think I'm almost there but can't get it to pass internet tests.
Followed a few tutorials but there must be one last piece of the puzzle that needs to be set.I have a PPPoE connection set like this:
LAN:
And router advertisement is set to unmanaged and Provide DNS Configuration via the RA Daemon is checked.
What am I missing here?
this is how my windows 10 is reaching the router.
Any advice to make this work?

Hello @Fandangos
Based on your screenshots, it looks like you are getting a proper IPv6 prefix.
The following two things made my IPv6 working:- The DHCP6 service configured with the proper IP range (you also need to tick the enable checkbox)
- Router Advertisement enabled with the router mode in assisted mode.
Since your W10 machine has an fe80* address, it is not getting a proper routable address and that is why your test is failing

Unless you have a specific need for DHCPv6, I'd suggest stick with SLAAC. It works well and Android devices won't work with DHCPv6.

When you say use SLAAC.
You mean on WAN or LAN?
When I select SLAAC on WAN I can't use track interface on LAN.
So it would be SLAAC on wan and static on lan? -
You've showed the LAN IPv4 settings, but not the IPv6 settings.
It's important and just below :

@Gertjan The only difference I see with mine, which is working , is in the DHCP6 Client Configuration in the LAN settings.
After changing it you may have to disable and then reenable the WAN interface to get a IPv6 address.
My prefix may be different to yours as well as it for BT uk.

You were using "ipconfig".
But you want to see all the answers.
Useipconfig /all -
On the LAN.

When I set it like this, it stops receiving a ipv6 address on LAN.
Also this setting, use ipv4 connectivity as parent, doesn't work either.
Also having SLAAC on WAN results in ipv6 address but nothing on LAN.
So now I'm trying like this:

This is the tricky part, how do I figure out the ip range I can use?
I'm using ::1000 to ::2000

GOT IT WORKING!
settings for future reference

..... and netflix doesn't work with ipv6... :(

My post was in response to @gsr23000 who was talking about configuring DHCPv6.
-
@Fandangos The IPV6 range is the same as I use. pfSense has a limit of /64 on this size of the subnet (which is still plenty enough)
I think the only thing that was missing for you was RA.
One thing though, I don't remember the details, but I've seen recommendation to skip the 0 as the IPv6 prefix ID.
That said, your screenshot shows (hexadecimal from 0 to 0), so you might need to have 0.
In my setup I have (hexadecimal from 0 to ff). This might be an ISP thing.
Anyway, glad to hear that it is working now -
@JKnott DHCP6 for IPv6 is what worked for me. Like with everything in life, that is one way to solve a problem.

You sure?
host netflix.com
netflix.com has address 3.225.92.8

The device that connects to Netflix has to use an IPv6.
Do a DHCP release all, and then renew, or, restart it.
I see :
which means : no IPv4 what so ever.

@Gertjan That is a neat trick. Could you please share how did you get that info ?

@Gertjan Very useful tool. Thank you for sharing.
