      My IPv6 network seems to stop working after 2 hours. I suspect it's because the DHCPv6 lease is not renewing. Why might that be?

      Some potentially relevant facts

      • IPv4 leases are fine
      • Same issue on Windows 10, and Linux clients
      • pfSense WAN interface IPv6 is fine. I can ping google.com over IPv6 from pfSense
      • Both clients seem to believe they have valid IPv6 addresses (as seen with IP address)

      My setup

      • IPv6 on LAN and DMZ networks
      • DHCPv6 server running on each, with default lease time of 7200
      • Windows 10 PC on LAN, Linux server on DMZ
      • Router Advertisement on assisted mode (both networks)

        I tried restarting pfSense as well as my clients, and it didn't seem to help on the day. However the following day everything started working fine.
        I am all good now.
        My first thought was to delete this post. But I am leaving it up in case someone else faces a similar situation in the future. As unhelpful as it sounds, waiting a day might make the problem go away :-)
